    Heart Palpitations - Ectopic Worries

    I've noticed that my ectopics have been growing in frequency - i use to get 1 or 2 noticeable ectopics per week but now it seems to be daily.
    I am getting concerned that these could signify something more sinister such as heart disease?

    When i get them i don't feel tired or dizzy or like i'm gonna faint. Never blacked out as well.

    I do seem to get them whilst exercising, sometimes i'll get 3 during a 20 minute run. Sometimes though i will go for a run and i won't get them so the consistency is not there.
    I don't have any issue running though and i run most days just to keep my heart healthy.

    What i did notice though was that getting into a pool and going for a swim, i seemed to get an ectopic and tight chest whilst doing breast stroke which i found quite concerning.
    That was most times i got into a pool.

    I've had 3 ECGs and 2 Blood Tests and they said everything was fine, i've asked for a 24 hour heart monitor but i'm on a 3 month waiting list.

    What I've also noticed is that sometimes when i stand up, my heart suddenly beats really fast, almost like to compensate. But then other times when i stand, my heart doesnt respond as strongly.

    Could these be a sign that my heart is abnormal in some way or is it just anxiety?

    ECGs are pretty accurate. Especially if you've had three of them! Very likely to be anxiety.

    How old are you?
