Is Anxiety The Reason For Irregular Heartbeat?

When I go to bed at night I have a feeling in my chest (over my heart) of little bubbles or fluttering and when I listen to my heart with a stethoscope I hear my heart pause and then two quick beats. this happens every minute or so for a short time and then I fall asleep. there is no pain just anxiety over what just happened.

Hi,

Anxiety can cause some benign arrhythmias, so there is nothing to worry.
I would advise you try not to eat before going to bed. Walking in the fresh air in the evening is favorable in preventing arrhythmias.

Hope I could help you

Wishing you good health
