Did the stress echo show worsening of your atrial irritability during exercise? Is your thyroid function normal? Since you have no evidence of structural heart disease, your atrial irritability may be benign. However if it's worse with exercise or if it's very symptomatic, treatment with a beta blocker.would be reasonable. Limit caffeine & alcohol. ?See an electrophysiologist cardiologist.
