Heart Beats Fast - Severe Palps and Shortness of breath when laying down

I'm a 26yr Female and it all started with palps and got worst in last 6 months. Now when I lay down to go to bed I really feel them and I feel like theres no air in the room and I feel like my heart is trying to beat in 1 big beat! Had 2 Holters done. I didnt do any exercise while wearing holters. Just hung around the house.

1st Holter Results showed
AVG. Heart Rate 96bpm
Max Heart Rate 180bpm (longest run 243 sec)
Min Heart Rate 54bpm
Sinus Tachs 195
SVE 25
PVC 42
A Fib 16

2nd Holter Results showed
AVG. Heart Rate 129bpm
Max Heart Rate 180bpm (longest run 243 sec)
Min Heart Rate 117bpm
SVE 64
VE 2

Doc is sending me to an EPC for some nerve study test.

Hasn't really told me what he thinks just that he need to do more tests and that I have a murmur.

Anyone have the same symptoms? What was treatment?

I think a lot of people are in the same boat.  It sounds like your doctor is referring you to an EP, and that's a great step that I think will bring you reassurance and perhaps some relief.  A rhythm specialist will know how to handle it.  Good luck to you :)

About the heart beating fast and/or funny like a murmur, my heart did that particularly just after eating a decent size meal, for a couple of years before I tried something radical.  I intentionally started loading more salt on my food.  I made the connection when my new girlfriend started serving over salted foods.  She loves salt, apparently.  Why my belly started getting smaller with less bloating.  It seems backwards to me.  The irregular heart beating has gone away for at least a year now, and I've lost about ten to fifteen pounds.  Go figure.  Hope it helps.
