    If this odd beats keep going for more than say half an hour, your should be going to ER to let them have a look at you.

    Better to be sure than sorry.

    Yes, if they persist for 30 to 60 minutes, you better check it out as an emergency (to the ER).  If they come and go irregularly, best to see a cardiologist.  You should probably wear a 24 hour heart rate monitor for a good evaluation.  Best of luck!
