Dear Dr. APS,
While I was waiting for your response I looked for other information about rapid heartbeat, and found references to stress causing rapid heartbeat. But the references didn't seem to be talking about a prolonged period (in fact, one said if it was more than 1 hour to call medical provider), nor did they mention the night episodes. Is it possible that what I'm experiencing is merely caused by stress? I can't relate previous episodes to anything specific, but early last week my husband had prostate surgury (so he could pee better, not for cancer). I'm sorry I didn't include this information before but I didn't think of it until after I had submitted the question. Also, thank you for your time to answer my ????
