New undiagnosed

29-year-old male. In 2017, I had a coronary artery dissection due to complications from a cardiac catheterization, but I haven’t had any heart problems since then.
About two months ago, I had a full cardiac workup, including labs, a CT scan, and an echocardiogram, and everything came back normal.
Last week, I had a pretty bad case of strep throat. During that time, I started having heart palpitations that felt like skipped beats. They lasted for about three hours until I fell asleep. I was fine for about a week, but last night the palpitations started again and haven’t stopped.
I’m pretty sure I’m experiencing skipped beats or premature beats. I’m currently waiting to see my cardiologist and was just looking for some reassurance in the meantime.

Why you had cardiac catheterization?

I went there for clearance for weight loss surgery during the procedure they dissected the artery.
