What are the symptoms of an ectopic heartbeat?

Some people don’t experience any symptoms of ectopic heartbeat. Other people feel symptoms when they lie down or try to go to sleep (heart palpitations at night). You may feel:

• An extra heartbeat, or as if your heart skipped a beat or stopped for a moment.
• Irregular heart rate, as if your heart is speeding up and slowing down.
• Pounding or fluttering in your chest.
• Racing (fast heartbeat).
