What Is Causing My Palpitations And What Can I D O?

I appear to be having palpitations now on a daily basis and they are lasting anything up to 20 minutes at a time and seem to occur when I lie down. Any advice please?

Yes... see a cardiologist. That's too often and too long to be attributable to stress. It's possible that it could be controlled by medication, or you could need cardiac surgery. A "short circuit" in the heart can be cured with a minimally invasive procedure called cardiac ablation.
