I have lived with an irregular heart beat for years, but it is not something that happens all the time. What I would like to know is what it means when you lay down at night to go to sleep, and all of a sudden its like you get an electrical charge, as if your heart is restarting. Its just one jolt, and then it okay for a short time and then I may have another one. It doesnt happen every single night, but a few nights a week. My Body Mass Index is perfect, my BP is 110/90; and my cholestrol level is 4.85. Every thing seems to be fine health wise, except for this electrical problem. I"ve even worn a halter monitor, and it never seems to show up at the time. I am a 46 year old, and wonder if I need to look in to it further? Please advise! Thanks.
