it feels better to know Im not the only person who has it, for years i thought I was - thats one great thing about the internet, just type in a search and you can hook up with other people who share the same problem, and often they have it worse so you feel fortunate in a way (dont mean that to sound bad )

I used to get the creepy crawly thing a lot, used to throw the duvet across the room and scream and stuff, but i dont seem to get that anymore.
About a week ago my OH told me I had sat up in the bed and started going on about pirates and the sails on their ships I have no recollection of this at all but apparently he said it was quite interesting compared to the goble-di-gook I come out with when Im awake :smt042 :smt043 :smt003

omg i get that all the time just last night i woke up i the middle of the night screaming, for some reason i thought there was a bug in my bed, i picked it up and couldnt kill it, so i woke up bf and he took it off me (even tho it wasnt there) and i kept asking him if he had killed it yet. strangely if he plays along wit it i calm down and go back to bed.
ive been known to wake up in middle of night seeing spiders on my wall or something floating above me, i throw things across the room or jump across the room to turn the light on.

its really bizarre

oh and to answer the original question, yes i do get palpitations, where my heart will flutter or do extra beats, its really uncomfortable!

the floating thing, I get that a lot too, its hard to describe what it actually is sometimes its like a dark shadow other times its like a big transparent blob like a jellyfish (if that makes sense ) but usually it is hovering above me or about to fall on me from the celing and i jump out the bed to try and get away from it.

Looks like it is much more common than I thought -

anyone else had any weird happenings in their sleep?

The only time I've had them was when I was PREGNANT!!......lol.

I had them last year, quite bad with like a tightenting of the chest... i thought i was having mild heart attacks i was on tablets too as an ongoing thing but eventually chucked them in the bin.

It was all done to stress of someone i thought the world of had got cancer and then she died. I was in abit of a mess.

Sometimes i still get the pain, the Doc said there was nothing to worry about... even though there is a history of heart problems in my family. But i don't worry about them anymore

my Sister in law gets them regularly, cant remember what she said causes them. She has seen the doc and they are monitoring her

Thanks for all the comments, I am glad I am not palpitating alone (not that I wish palps on anybody)!

following from candies comments i get palpitations when my hubby looks at my credit card statements!!! but in truth i do get heart racing every now and again its when i get a big panicky if i am late for kids or in stressful situation
