Some days I don't have any palpitations or heart flip-flops at all, like yesterday. Other days I will have one or two short ones and other days I'll have one that goes on for an hour or maybe even two. My triggers seem to be getting dehydrated or stressed, or too tired. I've learned to pace myself.

@catmom777 that sounds familiar but episodes can just come and go sometimes for no rhyme or reason. It is a great idea to watch for dehydration, stress and to pace yourself. I find sometimes that heartburn can also bring on an episode. Other folks avoid caffeine, which doesn't bother me. But alcohol sure does so I limit that to more than a few sips. I have a suspicion that the way I sit on my couch (leaning back too far?) can also bring it on. I have to test that theory sometime! I say that because I've had issues when sleeping on my right side -- seemed to create uncomfortable sensations in my heart.
