You can ask the doctor to explain what the report specifically recorded and whether it matches your symptoms, as well as what other information is needed to make a judgment. Bring the complete report and mention whether you felt palpitations or other sensations during the test. Before leaving, ask whether further evaluation is needed, when to follow up, and what changes would require seeking medical care earlier. Do not judge the severity based solely on the words 'premature beats'.
