Palpitations & syncope when lying down

2020-09-10 13:05:30
For more than a week, I have had disturbing palpitations often as soon as I try to sit or lie down. I experience syncope if I try to sleep and sometimes wake up with heart pounding. 2D Echo and ECG were normal. Chest CT showed a slightly enlarged thyroid with a small nodule but the hormone levels are normal. I have no idea what to do next. Is it atrial fibrillation ?
