Suggest Treatment For Abnormal Heart Flutters

I m 45, 145lb,5 3 . I ve been experiencing abnormal heart flutter/pounding that awakens me during the night. These only happen while I m lying on the left side. I ve had it happen prior to getting to sleep but lately it s becoming more often. I had an excercise stress test/scan about 4 years ago which was normal (I m on a beta blocker to help prevent migraines)

Hi,

From your description it seems like you have premature beats. Small amount of these beats are quite benign, but sometimes it is really annoying. They can be triggered also by stress. If you have stressful life recently or tired a lot, I would advise you try to change your lifestyle, and most probably they will disappear.
In case they don't disappear I would advise you to see your doctor. the increase of beta blocker will help you.

Hope I could help you

Wishing you good health
