Okay, these palpitations events are extra-cardial in nature, meaning that they do not originate from within the heart. They are actually being caused by inappropriate stimulation by the vagus nerve. You seem to be firm in your belief that physical symptoms are unswervingly associated with physical disease and this is not the case whatsoever.
Nothing neurological needs to be evaluated and increase in episodes like this often arise relevant to circumstnancs that are life-altering in nature. Any one of a number of common factors can produce the effect, including a change in a job, loss of a job, martial discord, loss of a loved one or friend, financial circumstances and the list goes on and on. It can also be relevant to age from the standpoint that life's issues are far less potent in youth than in middle-age or later years.
Lack of quality sleep is also directly related to the onset or increase in benign palpitation events. The fact that you are not sleeping well in the absence of a known cause would make me question whether stress or anxiety is more of an issue than you are presently suggesting. The context of stress and anxiety is often undervalued by those experiencing it and there is a standard belief that these factors are expressed in a universally identical context. Again, this is not the case at all. It is not necessarily the level of stress and anxiety, but rather the specific type and how you are perceiving and addressing it.
I see nothing of your description that would suggest an underlying pathology to be responsible for the increased presence of the palpitation events. Aside from the nuisance factor, these events have absolutely no potential to cause you harm in any manner at all. Again, they arise from mere stimulation of the heart and they are more akin to a random muscle twitch from a physiological standpoint. No matter how bold the expression becomes, they do not have the ability to stop your heart or cause it to suffer damage.
Incidentally, the term bigeminy arises in this context merely due to the manner in which the diagnostic equipment is programmed to respond. The term is inappropriate where benign palpitation events are concerned. In other words, simply because the timing of the events occurs in a manner to suggest couplets or bigemeny, is not the type of classical form of the phenomenon which we observe in cases from other causes.
Best regards and Good Health
