I'm a little unsure whether it is definitely palpitations or ectopic beats...
But the other night just as I drifted off, nearly in dreamland, I had a thump. It jolted me awake. It also felt a little like I was going to throw up in my sleep because of the way it jolted my chest.. (But if I needed to throw up, I probably would have within 10 minutes). And because I get anxious very easily, I immediately had a thumping heart until I calmed down. Hell, even just thinking about this and looking it up gives me a speedy heart.
It felt like there was a pressure coming from the inside of my chest.
So I tried to get back to sleep when I calmed down. I drifted off to sleep almost 10 times, each time waking up with a thump. It came to the point I was too scared to sleep because my heart was scaring me. I read a little while, attempted to sleep but couldn't. I read my book until I could no longer see straight. (Past half 5 when I finally drifted to sleep)
(I've had this before, but it didn't last as long and it went away but the other night scared me)
I had it a few times last night also.
Has anyone had this before? Does this sound worrysome enough to see the doctors about it? I don't want to waste their time, nor get myself worked up. So if you were me, would you go to the doctors about this or not?
Thanks for any replies! x
