Hi
Thanks for posting your query.
Your problem is called Palpitations. It can happen due to problems in heart or problems outside heart.
A normal ECG doesn't indicate that everything is fine with heart. You need to get further evaluation done with respect to your heart like Tread mill test and ECHO scan which shall give more details on your heart conditions.
In addition also get Serum TSH and Serum cortisol levels to check for extra cardiac conditions causing palpitations.
Kindly revert back with reports.
Hope this information was useful to you. Any clarification feel free to ask.
