Does anyone live with an irregular heartbeat?

Quick summary - Couple weeks ago one doctor I was going to heard my heart beating irregular. Got on the phone and got me an EKG scheduled. Did it the next morning and they said it looked fine, but they did see a little "electrical interference". So I'm scheduled to do an echo and wear a monitor for 7 days, but not until the second week of March.
I borrowed a wearable EKG from a friend and so far it shows me being "out of rhythm" about 75%-95% of the time. I do not feel anything, no pain, no issues. And I believe I've had this for a while now. It may be normal, may not be but I would appreciate hearing others experiences with similar conditions. Thanks!

I'm okay with getting to the bottom of it if there is something wrong. My family has a history of heart disease. Hope you come out of it okay man! Thanks

I have something called a right bundle branch block. Causes “bunny ears” on an EKG. It was discovered during a physical a couple years ago. Followed up with a cardiologist and a little reading. Doesn’t seem like a very big problem.

I was having issues with what felt like skipped heart beats. After being EKG'd, Stress tested, echo'd, and wearing a monitor. Doctor said the skipped beats were PVC's. Said its more of a nuisance than anything and that he could give me medication but it wasn't necessary

Whatever it is, you'll probably want to get some sort of HR type watch like a apple watch that can do a EKG. My issue turned out to be A-Fib and has only happened once about a year ago.

I experienced this as well and tracked it down to artificial sweeteners, Sucralose (Splenda) in particular. I cut out anything with artificial sweeteners (mostly protein supplements) and I’ve been good ever since (about 1.5 yrs).
Do some research and you’ll find quite a few people who have had the same issue.

After having an EKG, Echocardiogram and wearing a Zio monitor for a week I got an answer to my weird heartbeat issue, I'm totally fine. It is PVCs as mentioned by other posters. My heart does have a sort of strange cadence to it, but it looks healthy and is pumping good and I do not feel any pain or discomfort ever.
I had to make a work trip out of town before I got all my results back. I was alone in my hotel. I was so freaked out I made my room before I went to bed. Suitcase packed, nothing out like I was about to checkout. I had this feeling like I wasn't going to make it through the night and I would be found during a welfare check or something. Sometimes our brain is our own worst enemy. All that worrying for no real reason.

Anxiety is a bitch. I’ve been struggling with health related anxiety since I hit 40 or so.

Don’t understand the downvotes; he’s right as all these manmade chemicals are affecting our hearts, especially the electrical “wiring”.
Also, a lack of magnesium and dehydration are HUGE issues that I experienced with AFIB and have finally gotten it under control taking enough magnesium daily and staying hydrated. Also, if you fast, take it easy on the refeed (just do broth first day) as that can cause issues.
