Try magnesium: One common cause of heart rhythm abnormalities is due to a deficiency of magnesium. There can be other more serious conditions but it sounds like you have ruled those out. Sleep and anxiety problems can also be connected to low mag levels. Trying a supplement is easy and has no bad effects. Try taking 400 mg per day and take less if you get loose bowel movements.

You need a holter mo: Palpitations in the absence of structural heart disease are benign. If this is just skip heart beat usually extra heat beat is the contributing factor. However, if you are experiencing rapid heart beat with a rapid pulse it is possible you may have svt. This could be easly treated with medication or electrophysiologic treatment. You need to see your md for a holter monitor or event monitoring.

Consider monitoring: Palpitation that do not show up on an ecg, with a normal echo in a 21 yr old are generally quite harmless. A holter monitor or an event recorder would be a way to record all your heart beats over several days or weeks to define exactly what it is you are feeling. Try limiting caffeine and energy drinks.
