, mine come out of nowhere, too; I'm just dropping off to sleep and I get

sudden tachycardia.........and then it's over.  Some sort of surge of

adrenaline.  I hate them, even though I've been told over and over that they are

" harmless " .  *sigh*

Wow, that was a scary one that came out of nowhere. After about 30 seconds I

realized what was happening and started employing some deep breathing and trying

to do that 54321 thing. I didn't really get very far but trying to focus on

something else did help me relax and breathe. Something on the tv show I was

watching made me think about my own death (and while this has never freaked me

out in the past) and I started just freaking out and panicking. I'm still a

little worked up but okay now. That was really intense. I'm trying to figure out

what brought it on.
