So interesting that you mention swallowing. Do you get palpitations after swallowing?
I have had palpitations since november. I first noticed them after I slept one night at a friends house on an extremely bad mattress and woke up with back pain. Since then I get them, about every 4-5 weeks for 2-3 days. In between I am always completely symptom free. Since then I also often wake up with back pain, but i never really connected those symptons until now.
I get the palpitations especially when swallowing, I swallow and 1-2 seconds later I feel my heart stumbling. Sometimes I even have several extra beats in a row, which really scare me. I have had a holter monitor twice so far. However, I never had any symptoms while wearing it, and it always came back normal. My heart echo also was normal.

Yes I get them just after swallowing, many similarities as you are describing.
I wore a zio patch for 14 days similar to Holter monitor, my result have not been released, but it's been a long journey trying to figure it out.
I have some theories myself, the bad posture you said, it's a potential one in my opinion.
If you or anyone in this topic wants to ever wants to talk, please post, I figure sometimes it takes a long time to reply understandingly so. And it may help us to communicate to share notes, etc.
