What Causes Arrhythmic Heart Beat While Sleeping?

Hi, my heart stops beating when I fall asleep. I wake up, and I put my finger on my pulse, and it will beat a few times, then pause. Or, it will beat then pause, beat then pause. Sometimes, the pause will last for several seconds. I am afraid to fall asleep.

In view of this please do the following test
Chest x-ray
ECG
EKG
Serum electrolytes

Moreover please visit a cardiologist specialist with the results and for further clinical assessment and adequate drug prescription

I hope this helps
