Suggest Treatment For Heart Palpitations

Around the 6th of Dec I started getting sick with broncitis or walking pnuemonia. My doctor gave me prescriptions for an antibiotic, congestion and inhaler. The inhaler was ventolin. Right before I started these I was having heart palpatations. Got worse and looked up side affects and the ventolin contained albuterol which can cause the palpatations. I stopped using it and I am still having them. Went back to doctor, did an EKG which was fine and she said my lungs and heart sounded perfectly fine. I have cut alot of caffine and nicotin out and they still continue. Some days I dont have them at all and then some days, like today they are driving me crazy. Any suggestions?

Despite eliminating some of the obvious factors for these palpitations, i would suggest to have a Holter monitor or preferrably loop recorder on the go to ascertain the exact nature of these palpitations. Further workup may be warranted if any suspicious rhythm recorded.
