Random heart palpitations
Hi, I've been having heart palpitations for a few weeks at least now, but irregularly and mostly very late at night. I am really worried it could be a heart tumour or something like that. I read that it could also possibly be caused by stress or by me eating late at night which I often do. The sensation feels like an occasional strong heartbeat compared to the usual heartbeats.
