Ectopic heartbeats.

Been having them on and off for about 30 years. Sometimes I’ll get them every 2 minutes for about 2 weeks then I won’t get any for 6 months or more.

They don’t make me feel unwell, there’s no pain etc, they’re just downright annoying.

I even used to get them when I was training for half marathons. I’d go and see my GP about them and even bought an Apple Watch 7 to record them on an ecg but the Doc would say they’re just benign. Ok I guess I can’t argue with my GP and even saw a cardiologist who said the same almthoug apparently every gets them from time to time i have never heard of anyone getting them as often as I do when I get these bouts of 2/3 weeks.

My heart appears to be in good nick for my age (although not as strong as it was 10 years ago when I would only do running) and although my cardio is limited to about 20 mins on the cross trainer at the gym I still get the little buggers.
