    These can be associated with many conditions - thyroid, low Iron levels, asthma inhalers (Ventolin), too much caffeine intake, not to mention cardiac. Go to GP & have a chat to put your mind at rest. Blood tests will confirm any of the above medical problems.

    Only real way to tell is an ECG.

    I had them. Doctors didnt think so.

    Went to hospital and it turned out I was in Atrial Fibrillation or AF.
