Consult local doc: An interventional specialist can freeze the ectopic site & end the problem through a catheter. The procedure is usually available in larger metro areas in conjunction with cardiology practice groups. The runs of rapid heart rate & fatigue might be amenable to medication but this would just "manage" the process.

I am so tired of having heart palpitations. How do I know if they are dangerous? They are so strong tonight. I've had 100+ ecg tests. 2x echo scans. 2x 24 hour recorder. No abnormalities. Told I just have ectopics. What if its changed and dangerous?
