A few years ago whilst working down in Africa I'd a major panic attack out of the blue, at the time I thought I was having a heart attack and that was it. After I'd gotten home I had some diagnostics done and it was put down to Malarone which I was taking as an anti Malaria preventative measure. The listed side effects of this drug are worrying indeed, had I known I'd not have bothered.

Anyway after a few weeks off the drug I was still having them, after a few trips to the docs and A&E and all sorts of tests, X rays and blood samples I'd had a Holter monitor fitted over 48hrs. All of which came back normal.

2 years on I still have these episodes about 2 times a week but ONLY at night when I am in bed. I do exercise and I don't suffer any episodes during, and never during the day only at night.

Im probably worrying over nothing, but any heads up would be appreciated.

Are the palpitations regular or erratic? Do they suddenly start and stop?
