Ectopic Beats or Arrythmia??

Hi,

I’m hoping to get some advice for my strange, worrying irregular heartbeats.

In 2019 I had a episode of Atrial Fibrillation (BP 190) in which I was prescribed a very strong beta blocker which seemed to have resolved the issue.

Since then Ive had numerous episodes of ectopic beats, infrequently with no apparent triggers, however recently they are becoming more frequent with the latest episode lasting a full 72 hours of irregular heartbeats. I’m 30 year old, relatively healthy, don’t smoke, don’t drink and exercise enough. They tend to come on when I’m idle and not doing much…

I’ve attached my ECG from the latest episode to see if anyone can identify what type of arrhythmia it is and how to treat it.

Thank you
