To determine what is causing your irregular heartbeats, a portable heart monitor can be worn and activated when you have episodes. Your symptoms can then be correlated with the recorded heart rhythm. Further tests could be done based on the results of the heart monitor. Additionally, caffeine, tobacco, and alcohol can precipitate premature beats so you should avoid these substances. I hope you find this information useful.
