The symptoms you are having looks like VPC'S, which is extra beats originating from places other than the normal conducting system of the heart.
I'll advise you to get an ECG and 24hr Holter monitoring done, after which only we can ascertain the diagnosis.
This could also be some abnormal arrhythmia so kindly do those tests. I'll also advise you to get a 2D Echo done to rule out any possible cardiac related abnormality.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Sameer Maheshwari, Cardiologist
