2) I noticed that several times recently and a few times over the past year that when I lay down in bed at night, my heart will beat irregular for a few minutes. It will beat normal and then I'll have a few seconds or so of a very fast heartbeat and then it will calm down to normal and then speed up, etc etc until I move, sit up, cough, whatever. Thankfully that has seemed to do the trick to stop it and reset back to normal, but my anxiety mind worries that it won't go back to normal and I'll have some awful rhythm develop and die.
3) Background for those who forget or didn't know to begin with...I've had numerous 24 hour Holter's, an event loop recorder a little over a year ago and numerous stress tests. Most recent was this past April. They've only ever been able to catch benign PVC's which is a very good thing!!
4) My cardiologist isn't the least bit concerned, but I always am. Thanks for your help guys!!
1) Hello, Merry Christmas to you too
2) Sounds pretty normal to me. I have anxiety too. I have had this, and I've heard about 10,000 others mention these same symptoms too. And not just once, I've had this about 300 times, as I'm sure others have. Also, you say you're worried it will not go back to normal...then you state that it always does. I think that says everything.
3) Well you can't get any more comprehensive than that. You don't have any sort of disease or problem. Clearly.
4) I think this says it all.
Enjoy your holidays!
