Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Your query is too short to give me any valuable information to comment. However I am trying to take professional guess here.
As I understand you may have sleep apnoea problem and you have arrhytmia of heart beat. Wherein it takes a pause after every 104 beats. This is called compensatory pause. This sounds in line with sleep apneoa problem. The answer to this problem is sleep apneoa machine. Once you are on this the heart beats slower and takes less time to take pause that means may be at 30 beats.
You cannot calculate this as proper opinion without giving full details and may be some scan copies of the medical summary.
