Without knowing anything about you, your history, your medical history, new workups by physician specialists, my guess is that you have begun to slip somehow and you're heart is letting you know it's working too hard when you are at rest, especially when you are asleep and your heart can kick back and unlax for the night. If I were your earnest physician, I would order blood assay, pulmonary workups, kidney assessment, liver assessment, cardiac assessment, and probably suggest very, very, strongly that you should consider an over night sleep lab....a polysomnography....to see if you have undiagnosed, and very dangerous, obstructive or central sleep apnea....or the dreaded combo called 'complex sleep apnea' where both of those intruders are resident in your body.

You need a concerted and serious look at your overall health picture. Your heart is already heading towards arrhythmia, which the palpitations warn of (I'm assuming they are just bigeminal/trigeminal PACs/SVTs, which you can look up or ask your PCP or cardiologist about). If you are experiencing nocturnal atrial fibrillation, and it doesn't wake you up (how do we know it isn't that and that you head to the can because many patients find they need to pee as soon as their hearts begin to fibrillate! Yes, it's actually a thing!). If you ARE fibrillating, even for a few minutes, your risk of a stroke climbs, almost five times what it was an hour earlier. Your cardiologist would want you on a direct-acting oral anti-coagulant right away, taken twice each day usually.

Please see a physician right away.

@gloaming understandable i hope it isn’t arrhythmia or stroke. I went to the cardiologist 2x now and each time they gave me a heart monitor to wear for 2 weeks and said things looked good. I had low heart rate but mostly it will stay at like 55-85bp and also I got bloodwork done about 3-4 times this year and I have had lab tests as in for electrolytes and tests for urine they came back fine my white blood cells were low or something I forgot but that’s all could find. I even also gotten stool tests to see if I have any inflammation or anything and didn’t find anything. But I’m still in this position so it’s hard to believe I’m just fine. I’m a 18 year old male and I always try to keep up with my health ever since I was like 200 something pounds and I lost the weight and am now i60ibs. One thing else i noticed was thy the palpitations started feeling very noticeable when I was working this one time and I was in the middle of finishing the workout and that’s when the palpitations hit like, thuds , skips , fluttering. And I’m still trying to find a way to mange the palpitations, can it really be fibrillation would I need surgery and does this point to something serious?

@gloaming are you a physician or have any experience in the medical field?
