Stress and anxiety causes this. It's quite normal in an anxious state and it won't kill you.

Thank you but it's hard to convince myself it's happening everytime I lay Down. I'm terrified and so tired but scared to sleep ;(

I've had this sort of thing on and off for years, and for some reason it's seems to be worse when I lie down to go to sleep. I don't know whether this is something to do with being tired, or that you notice the skipped beats more when you're lying down, or just that it's quieter at night.

It's driving me mad;( I really wanna go to sleep but as soon as I do it starts. Hate them so much. Thanks x

What might help is having an extra pillow, as then you're not lying so flat in bed. I know that's worked for me a few times.

[ames6767]

Yeah I'll try that. Thank you x

I have read so much about this... (how sad) BUT there are a few things that I have discovered... When you are paniking most people take in too much OXYGEN... This can make you feel woozy and shakey (and again Panicy) If you cover one nostril and breathe in through one..Then cover the other and breathe out through that..This should hopefully calm your breathing..And yourself xxxxxx

Hi,
Hope you're feeling better now. I hate the dreaded palps and we know they cant do anything dreadful to us but when in the midst of them we always think the worst.
I find we get in a vicious circle, we get palps when we lie down so become anxious to lie down incase they happen again and inevitably they do coz we are fretting!
I have found cutting down anything containing caffeine has helped. No more tea, coffee, chocolate (I miss loads!) or fizzy drinks and apparently bananas help...I hate bananas!
Take care,
