I too have the same complaint like your wife. Although, I call it forceful hearbeats. The last visit I had at the cardiologists I told them that it usually happens at night when i'm lying down . I asked them could it be my medication that's causing these forceful heartbeats? I am taking metoprolol 25 mg at night and was told to cut my med and just take 12.5 mg. The heartbeats are a lot better and works quite well if I try to lay down on my left side. This is in response to Dennis’ comment about his wife. I too have the same complaint like your wife.
