Does anyone have any really good, trusted resources that I can read (or watch/listen to) to get more information on what they are, why they are happening and possible treatments?

They seem to happen when I am at rest and not during exercise,

I do however get what I have been told are ectopic heart beats and I would get hundreds (every couple of minutes) in a day. I have been told that they are harmless and aren't doing me any damage. However I am skeptical, mainly because I don't know what they are or why they are happening. My GP and Cardiologist seem to have just brushed them off and I haven't had a chance to go back to ask more questions now I have had some time to think.

Carey, at 14 ectopics per minute wouldn't it just be the same as afib? What makes it different?
