Hi,

The symptoms you are having looks like VPC'S, which is an extra beat originating from places other than the normal conducting system of the heart.

These can be abnormal or normal depending on the condition of the heart.

I'll advise you to get an ECG and 2D echo did to rule out whether it is related to heart or it is just because of anxiety, which can also cause such type of arrhythmia (called as Sinus arrhythmia).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Sameer Maheshwari, Cardiologist
