Hello again
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the feedback.
I would like to suggest the following things.
1. Kindly get your thyroid levels checked
2. Also discuss with your doctor about getting a holter test done as that will provide important information about how much premature beats are happening throughout the day, whether it’s significant or not or is there any abnormal rhythm happening transiently.
Kind Regards

Mostly these ectopics are harmless and are commonly seen in young individuals with healthy hearts. However it is important to make sure the ectopic load in 24 hrs is not significant and there is no abnormal rhythm happening intermittently.
