Can you sleep on your left side? I have never been able too.My heart starts sputtering.My Doctor told me that was impoosible.I ran across a article online that stated tha. I was elated.I finally knew or should I say had proof it wasn't all in my head. 
How long have you known you have had it? 
Oh, and you know caffiene doesn't help it either. I still have mine though.  | 
 
  I was diagnosed in 1984 and they put me on meds...I could not take them tho...mine acts up about once a month and not so bad...the worse it ever lasted was 45 minutes...I thought I was going to die and my hubby came really close to taking me to the hospital.  I sleep mostly on my back but can also sleep on my sides.  I know caffiene is not good and I do limit my coffee these days.
