Can't diagnose: You may need a sleep study to diagnose this. Please see your physician so this can be further explored.

An alternative: Is to get a Cardiology referral for an event monitor or Holter monitor so the doctor can track an arrhythmia that occurs infrequently. A baseline EKG would be needed too.
