The bottom line is that everyone has premature beats, but some people just are more aware of and are more symptomatic from premature beats. I suggest that you speak to your physician about these palpitations and your other symptoms. Common precipitants of premature beats that should be avoided are alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine. In the overwhelming majority of cases, premature beats are benign and are not harmful. I hope you find this information useful.
