I get this a lot. All I try and do is lay down and focus on my breathing. Take slow deep breaths and hopefully it should slow it down once you feel calmer. It is easier said than done, but worth trying.

It is anxiety. Even when you don't feel anxious, you can still get the physical effects. I get the palpitations a lot, flutters in my chest, when it feels like your heart skips a beat. It's all very normal for someone who suffers with anxiety, but the more you worry about it, the more it will happen so just try to relax (easier said than done).

I went through months of thinking there was something wrong with my heart. I have had many ECG's, ambulances called out for me, a 24 hour heart tracer put in me and everything is fine as it probably is with yours too. My worry at the minute is that I have diabetes because being silly I looked up diabetes and I have all of the symptoms!
