It depends: I think you mean a 24 hour ECG monitor, or a holter monitor. If typical symptoms are felt during monitoring, a single digit number of isolated ectopics is very reassuring that a worrisome/life-altering heart rhythm is not seen. This does not mean you are not having symptoms, it mean simply that the heart rhythm is ok at the time. Occasionally, anemia, thyroid, or anxiety can makes these worse.

Anxiety: Ectopic beats can be trigger by an anxiety/panic attack. Most people feel anxious when facing a challenge situation. But if those feeling overwhelm you and interfere with your daily life you may have anxiety disorder. There r 6 major types of anxiety disorder all with their own symptoms. Gen anxiety disorder, panic attack, obsessive compulsive, ptsd, phobia, social anxiety. Seek help from ur doc.
