I have recently been experiencing loud, strong heartbeats that wake me up at night. I can usually slow it down by taking long, slow deep breaths from the gut. There is no pain or fluttering. Sometimes during the day this happens too. Is this serious? I am a 71 year old female, healthy and fairly active, not overweight, don't smoke or drink excessively.
