First of all, thanks for the helpful replies.A few questions I have in response to the above comments.
Does extra systole fall in the AFib category? Would a beta blocker solve my problem? Are there any issues with taking beta blockers?
I have had both an ECG and a 24 hour Holter in the past and in both cases my GP said that irregularities showed up but again,nothing to worry about.
And I do have to agree with him to the extent that I am not impaired in any way. Still, it's not much fun living with this constant level of apprehension and anxiety and awareness of heart beats. I live in northern Canada and there is no cardiologist in our town but I will definitely look at visiting one the next time that I am down south.

I ended up on a beta blocker because I was having a fast heartbeat occasionally and high blood pressure. Was put on a holter numerous and they found nothingj. Now, I'm on Toprol and I wish I never was on this drug. It slows down my heartbeat down to the 40s, and I'm finding it impossible to get off this drug. Once you are on it will most likely be for life. Now, I think I'm reacting to certain foods that are speeding up my heartbeat. For instance in my case hot peppers speed up my heartbeat.
