Hi..i Am 26 And Have Also Had That Fluttering Feeling At Night When Laying On My Side. I Am Not Sure What It Is ...i Have Told My Doctor But They Never Really Seem To Know Either. I Do Have An Asd...(patent Foreman Ovale) And They Dont Seem To Think It Has Anything To Do With That....i Would Mention It To Your Doctor They Might Do Some Testing Just To Make Sure. I Went To The Er Because I Was Having It And They Said "i Think You Just Notice Things Alot More Than Normal People" Your Heart Doesnt Always Beat The Same Every Single Time"...how Stupid Huh?...... Who Knows... And I Dont Think Doctors Know Half The Time.

I sometimes experience heart palpitations in bed at night, especially when I am laying on my side.

I am a 25-year-old male. I do not excercise. My weight is normal and I eat well.

Does anyone know the cause or name of these strange flutterings of the heart?

Should I be worried that I am having them at such a young age?

I've noticed that my heart jumps all over the place on my right side. On my back, it beats weakly. On my left side it beats strong and fairly regular, so I attempt to sleep comfortably on my left side.

I've been looking for an answer for quite a while, and have found none.

In addition, if I wear an allergy mask while sleeping, I get fewer palpitations. In fact, if I don't wear a mask, my heart's "jumping around" will keep me up all night.

Many people have "misfiring" problems with their heart. If the heart misfires in a lower chamber, the Ventricle, it can be a PVC, Premature Ventricular Contraction, otherwise known as an ectopic beat in the Ventricle.

If the heart misfires in an upper chamber, the Atrium, it can be a PAC, or Premature Atrial Contraction, otherwise known as an ectropic beat in the Atrium.

Millions of people suffer from infrequent misfirings of their hearts. Unless there is a physical problem with the heart, most of the time these misfirings are caused by the chemicals poured into one's body by the endocrine system.

The bed is the worst place for allergies, so I would guess that the reason why so many people have problems in bed is because of the chemicals, poured into one's body, by the endocrine system during an allergic reaction caused by one's bedding.

Regards, and best of luck and health to you.
