Well you have had an ecg and most extra beats are completely  harmless. The only way to tone them down is to take a beta blocker or to learn to live with them as many people do some people have them all day every day and whilst they can be uncomfortable they are generally completely benign.

Marsha I agree, beta blockers would be the answer - I know several women who take them. However if they are related to low or high E then I guess you'd be masking the issue rather than fixing it. I'm also suffering from it terribly at the moment so really empathise - it's hard to feel any kind of relaxation or calm when you're so aware of your heart all the time.

Has your period arrived yet? Just wondering if they will ease when it does - will be interesting to see, as if they do it would seem that there is definitely a hormonal link. Have you had a blood test recently to check what your Estrogen level is?
