Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Most probably these are ventricular premature complexes. These are ectopic or extra beats. These are usually benign and not life threatening. These are frequently associated with caffeine, alcohol, thyroid problems may aggravate these.

So before going ahead we need to confirm it. Since these are not frequent Ecg may be normal. Did you have any such beat during holter monitoring, if yes it may detect otherwise not.

You should also get thyroid test done. Since, you have already undergone all tests like echo and all, I don't think there is any need to worry.

You ll need beta blockers like Metoprolol to keep these under control which will help to subside this.

Hope this helps you and get back if you have any questions.
