More history needed: 7 isolated skipped beats within 10 minutes is not uncommon. If the echocardiogram, stress test and blood pressure measurements were all normal, then it's unlikely to be an immediately dangerous heart rhythm. You may have another type of abnormal heart rhythm and more history is needed. Your doctor may wish to place a longer term heart rhythm monitor. Call 911 if chest pain, weakness, dizzy.

At times when laying down half asleep feel like my heart is fluttering.very odd sensation. my BP has also been increasing lately...related?
23y. When I lay down my bpm drops well down to 30 bpm. As I begin to doze off, I feel flutters and jarks in my chest, I'll jolt awake constantly. Finally when I do fall asleep, 2 hours later I wake to my heart racing and head hurting. Very tired. Sos?
Why does heart flutter when trying to sleep, and when I bend over sometimes? All heart tests normal. I also have anxiety, flutters everyday.
Sometimes if I was still sleeping& I wake up I have a sensation of flipping or fluttering I don't know if it is in my heart or stomach.why?
Having heart flutter when sleeping. Like the feeling when a roller coaster takes a big dip. Like my heart "dropping" or "stopping". Only happens when I'm sleeping and jolts me awake each time. When I awake I momentarily feel like I'm falling.
