Heart palps are common enough. Worst case you'll have to get an eval and wear a monitor for a day or so.
The palps are usually benign, and AME's are used to seeing that especially in older pilots. If you've already been evaluated and know it's benign, then you have nothing to worry about.
Besides you have to check the box forever (the three years is just for doctor visits).
And on the off chance that you have a real problem, well you'll want to get that treated. Beta blockers or pacemakers are totally certifiable in most cases.
