It seems like premature heart beats...

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX!

I read your query and understood your concerns. It seems like premature heart beats which are a sort of benign arrhythmia.

However I recommend doing the following examinations to find out the exact nature of your concerns:
- ECG
- Cardiac ECHO
- Holter monitoring
- Stress test

Hope this was of help!
