Yes I get them from time to time. Some days a lot some days none. It is definitely scary! But have been told it’s all benign and not to worry. But I know it’s very hard not to when they happen !

Yes I have them a lot too and used to worry about them and find it hard to sleep. An ectopic or slightly delayed heart beat apparently then leads to a larger beat to pump out the blood (my not very technical explanation!!). The consultant said it's nothing at all to worry about, as long as your heart's OK so I now try to ignore them. It can also have something to do with the vagus nerve so he suggested small meals, not eating for a few hours before bedtime and sleeping in a more propped-up position. I really feel for you as it's not comfortable and it's hard to relax isn't it?- but it certainly helped me to know it's nothing to worry about. Good luck!

Yes. I was advised by Mike Burrows to breath through my nose only and it does seem to calm it down eventually.

I get them every other night when I’m relaxed getting ready for bed it feels like my heart is gonna jump out my chest and it’s very noticeable it’s scary sometimes it can last for a couple minutes or even hours one night for me it lasted for 4 hours and all l wanted to do was call an ambulance but instead l just layed down until it went in normal range it felt so scary for me
