Hi,

You are having ectopic beats most likely supraventricular ectopics. Take 12 lead ECG with a rhythm strip for 1 minute which will confirm the nature of arrhythmia. Since you are having a nasal allergy it is quite possible, you might be using nasal drops containing pseudoephedrine, sympathomimetic amine or alpha-adrenergic agonist like Xylometazoline which helps in reducing nasal congestion but can cause arrhythmias. Avoid too frequent use of nasal drop containing pseudoephedrine (e.g. Sudafed) or Xylometazoline (e.g. Otrivin).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
