Suggest Treatment For Stress

My husband has sleep apnea. He wakes me several times during the night and doesn't even know it. He gets upset if I am not in bed with him. So I have been enduring the situation. Lately I've been under a lot of stress. Now I am experiencing sometimes 4 regular hearbeats then a delayed one. This may happen all day or it may happen just a few times a day. I have been walking on the treadmill and this does not happen while walking. I have been taking Adivan to help with this. Sometimes it works better than others. My question.....could the lack of good sleep cause these strange heartbeat patterns?
