Brief Answer:
Report is good
Detailed Answer:
Hello Vidhya, I hope you are doing well.
I have gone through the entire report and I am happy to tell you that the report is very normal with non significant load of premature heart beats. This means the ectopic activity is very less and there is no abnormal heart activity happening.
So there is no need to be concerned and try to ignore them. Also I remember you are hypothyroid so just keep a check on that, as thyroid levels usually gets dropped in pregnancy thereby requiring an increase in dose of medication.
I hope this will clear your doubts and relieve your worries. I wish you a very happy new year ahead.

Thank you for the positive response doctor. I have attached the final report of my holter monitor. The old report is the one that I got a day earlier or before completion since I had more of palpitations that day... I was told to wear it for a week... When I compared the old and new report, I could find that premature beats/ectopics have increased from 329 to 433 in a single day?... Which means am getting around 100 in a day? Pls let me know if this is normal... Do all healthy people get these beats? How many is normal in a 24 hour period?. Pls explain. And happy new year to you doctor.
