You will get to walk on a treadmill as they keep cranking it up while you are attached to a heart monitor to see if they can replicate the irregular heartbeat. They may also do an Echocardiogram which is just an ultrasound on your heart (that is actually kind of cool to watch).

Good luck to you and please, let us know how things go.
Thank you for your caring reply! I will update this thread with what the doc ends up telling me.
