Hello everyone

I wonder ifsomeone could help with my results of 24 hour ecg monitor. My symptoms are intermittent very fast heart rate which feels like fluttering that can last up to half an hour but mainly about 10 seconds. Sometimes up to 10 times a day. The report says "her trace showed that her basic rhythm was sinus. There were 2 runs of SVT. There does appear to be a sinus complex in the middle of these & this is probably 2 very short salvos of premature atrial contractions. There were no significant bradycardia or pauses. "

I wonder if anybody could tell me if this is anything to be worried about. My mum had atrial fibrillation & had 3 heart attacks in her 60s & I am 61. I havent heard from my Dr so I am assuming this report is ok 🤞.

Thank you so much in advance.
