Hi
I read your question very carefully.
You have nothing to worry about. From what you are saying it looks like premature heartbeat, which are benign arrhythmia.
So if I was your doctor would suggest to do ECG, ECHO and Holter monitoring.
Based on this exams data I would suggest you the best treatment.
Hope I answered to your query.
