What Causes Intermittent Heart Beats?
I am 47, 5'7", 138 lbs in good health. Each night when I go to bed, I lay on my stomach. My heart thud sfor about 30 seconds and then is normal and then keeps repeating . It is happening more often. What could that be? My brother is 49 and has 6 stents in place so heart troubles run in the family.
