Hey Lizzy,
As IsoM mentioned, everyone has premature heart beats .... whether they are from the top chambers-atria or the bottom chambers-ventricles. And anything that increases your adrenalin will increase the premature contractions. They are totally harmless.
The problem is if you have more then 3 to 6 ventricular premature beats in a row. You would need to get a holter monitor to evaluate that. First cut out caffiene, tea, chocholate and maybe get your TSH checked.
