Dr. Ira Friedlander answered

Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

Common: We all have occasional extra heart beats (palpitations or flutters) which are not concerning. If you have already been checked out by a health care professional and they've indicated there is nothing to worry about I would agree.
