Can see Cardiologist: A teen with some premature heartbeats can see a cardiologist for an opinion, especially if the patient is not so confident about her primary care doctor's evaluation of the premature heartbeats. A cardiologist can review the Holter recording, and do a thorough heart exam. If having worrisome heart or chest symptoms, the patient can of course go to the ER for evaluation.

I was dxd with an arythmia when I was in my early 20s via EKG. I recently wore a Holter monitor for resurgence of palpitations, results were normal. They come and go, but it feels very bad. Took my pulse and felt it skipping a beat. Should I worry?
