I do not know what you mean by "huge palpitations". I am not aware of an arrhythmia that occurs when a person is falling asleep. The only way to get confirmation of the "arrhythmia" and determine what type it is, is to undergo ambulatory rhythm monitoring. I would urge you to see your doctor and follow his/her advice.

How can you tell difference between heart palpitation and arrhythmia? Occasionally get fluttering heartbeat, not necessarily related to stress or exercise. Has happened through adult life, only lasts for seconds at a time. Feels scary, but goes away.
