Palpitations, many triggers - anyone had this or have recommendations?

For 7/8 years I have had palpitations which can be caused by many things. A description of the palpitations are a forceful thumping which can be extremely strong at times. It is never irregular and the main issue it causes is interrupting my sleep. I do not have a problem falling asleep with the palpitations, but they stop me getting deep sleep. I do not have health anxiety at all, I know the palpitations aren't dangerous.

It can be caused by many things weightlifting, most supplements, listening to music in my headphones. I do not believe it is psychological as once they built up out of nowhere and I realized after that my cereal had fortified vitamin D3 in it, which has always caused the palpitations in me. Also, when the palpitations are occuring, beta blockers do very little.

I am writing this because last night I took a magnesium supplement, supposed to help palpitations, but reacted to it in this way. When they come on they typically last for a couple days. I have had an echocardiogram, ECG, MRI scan which are all fine.

These palpitations drive me nuts when I get them because they ruin the quality of my sleep. When I had anxiety in the past I would have trouble falling asleep, but now I don't. I can get a full 8 hours, but if I have the palpitations it is very shallow and affects my mood, undeniabley this makes worse.

I really don't know what to do, I know my heart is healthy. I'm sure a lot of people will jump to say anxiety, but I really don't think it is because I don't have health anxiety and if it was adrenaline based surely the beta blockers would work?

Has anyone been in this situation or could offer advice?
