Hello. Started getting palpitations in March 2021 they went on for about a week 1 every hour or every couple hours roughly. Went to the gp who listened to my heart etc said i was fine and they stopped not all together but alot less frequent. I then got them again december 2021 had a ecg done which was normal they said if they happen again I would get a referral to cardiology. Which must of eased my mind because I didn't get them to any concerning extent again until June 2024 when I was getting them every hour or so maybe a couple an hour constant for a month. I had just got a promotion at work under a lot of stress which I think might of been the cause. I got referred to cardiology for a 24 hour monitor which they found 3 supraventricular ectopics and 1 ventricular ectopic all sinus rythm very reassuring reading they said no further action. But I still seem to get them some days worse than others some times everyday some days none at all. I don't know how many is normal or not normal I've never counted but at a guess the worst I get is maybe 15 to 20 a day that might be too many aswell at its very worst. All bloods are OK they've been done countless times no other symptoms with them they are just scary. I also find masturbating (embarrassing) triggers them which I don't know why but sex dosent any reason for this? I do think alot of it was due to a bad year stress wise. Any advice or help to put me at ease a little bit. I spoke to a gp not long ago jan 2025 who told me I need to stop reassuring myself and take some control not helpful. Anyone help please advice
