palpitations?

I have chronic recurrent pericarditis (as a result of an auto inflammatory condition)
And I’ve always had palpitations to some extent. More recently I have been having crazy palpitations. Really strong, really irregular. Like the kind you can’t ignore. I notice it tends to happen more when I’m tired, I work 12 hour night shifts and they are definitely worse after I get in from one.

I have previously had a 24 hour monitor and they said they noticed palpitations but weren’t worried. But since then it’s definitely worse.

I’m on the waiting list for a cardiology follow up and a cardiac MRI since October (love the NHS) 😅

Does anyone else experience this when not actively in a flare up? I don’t know it’s something I should be telling my GP or someone? I don’t want to end up sitting in A&E when I don’t feel it’s really needed.
