Time to go to Hospital?

I am a 29 yo male.

Have an appointment in 1.5 months about some other stuff but will also be bringing this up again- should I be getting looked at sooner?

No other health issues, no medications. Healthy weight, non-smoker. Lightly active.

I have had these palpitations for 12-13 years now and was given the all clear after a full battery of testing back then. However in the last 8-10 months there frequency has increased significantly from 1-2 a month to 1-20/day - went to doc again and after basic consult and 2 week holter monitor I was diagnosed as having infrequent isolated PACs with 1 PAC couplet over that 2 week span - no other abnormal rythyms.

I have come to terms with them and am not freaking out over them anymore - in a good mental state which has brought their frequency back down again somewhat to 10-30 per week. Basically this is to say I am not freaking out over them anymore but if I need to get checked out sooner I need to get checked out.

My new dilemna is that they are coming on in a new pattern 4-5 in a 20-30 second span. Then stopping again sometimes for days. They are also now occurring with some regularity  after exertion while catching my breath which only happened 2-3 times in the previous 12 years I have had these. Is this an alarming change?

    I thought I had replied but mustn’t have hit button . I think if you feel ill go to emergency , and the fact you are getting them during exercise . Another contributor suggested to look up York Cardiology in uk they have a series of YouTube videos very helpful and one covers when to be worried . I just looked at a few of them and the cardiologist is really helpful and explains things really well . Google it
