Anyone have their heart start racing in bed for no reason?

Once every few months I get this. It usually happens when I'm in bed...either before I fall asleep or when I wakeup in the morning. Basically I'll notice my legs throbbing, and if I stick my hand on my chest I'll feel my heart pounding away. It only lasts for a minute or two..very odd.
 
It's called tachycardia.

My brother had to have surgery (ran wires from his groin into his heart & zapped a few things, problem hasn't returned since) for it, but his was happening MUCH more frequently. They gave him a heart monitor that he had to take with him until he was able to record an incident for analysis.

They gave him the option of medicine or the surgery, he was going to choose the medicine but I bribed him into the surgery (bought him a GBA).

It's worked well for him.

LOL, I'm not doing that then!
 
This happens to me pretty often. Sometimes it goes away for months, sometimes it comes back and happens every week, sometimes several times a day. I had the hell tested out of my heard and it's "perfect" in their own words. Go figure.

Interesting, hopefully it won't become more frequent.

Interesting. I think I need to do this sometime. I don't really know how to explain what my heart does, but I really don't think it's normal.. lol.

It's some sort of fscked up beat. Sometimes it happens several times in a row, and sometimes it won't happen for like months, lol.

Once, while I was just laying in bed reading a book, it happened 6 times in a row, and it was kinda like.. christ, is it goin to stop or what? lol.. My heart will also beat very hard sometimes, easily visable through my shirt..

Scary.

That's very similar to what my bro described, though I never witnessed it. He said it felt like his heart was trying to beat it's way out of his chest.

Why don't you read a little before proving yourself an idiot?

My brother was 15, in excellent shape. He spent (and still spends) many, many hours outside.

In his case it was a medical condition which was corrected by destroying the nerve path (IIRC) that was causing it.

Relax.
 
My wife had these exact same symptoms, and they ran just about every test known to man kind, only to conclude that there's nothing wrong with her heart or any other system that they can determine. The doctor suggested some changes in diet -- including a complete removal of all sources of caffeine such as coffee, tea, chocolate etc etc, and the problem seems to have gone away (or at least been reduced to where it doesn't bother her).

Interesting info Greg, I'm going to read up a little on that (what your brother had). My wife and I were afraid something was seriously wrong, but all the tests seem to indicate that's not the case. It seems this is more common than I thought.
