I have now had two weird nights. First night I woke up to my heart really 'thumping'. The beat was regular, not rapid. It felt very heavy and strong. It lasted about a minute then went away. But then came back again. Very strong heavy thump. Finally went away. I checked the time and it was 2.36 am. The same thing happened again at 4.36 am. Last night when I was just dropping off the sleep, I felt rather strange as though my body was waiting for something. I sat on the side of the bed but felt a bit weak. Then I noticed I was drooling a little bit on the left side of my mouth. Heart was starting to thump, but quickly went away. That was again around 2 in the morning. I feel fine during the day. I am 75 years old and I do not smoke or drink. Is this a possible warning of a stroke? Thanks Jocelyn
