What Causes Irregular Heartbeats?

I have an irregular heartbeat. I notice it mostly at night, after I lay down in bed, but it seems to be more frequent in the day time than it was. Feels like my heart is trying to get in an extra pump between normal beats. My pulse is normal -- 50-60 and my blood pressure isn't high, 130/85. Not sure if I should change behavior or diet...

Hi i do care for your concern.
Your pulse rate and blood pressure is fine but pulse rate is little bit low.
And you have not mentioned your age and whether you are taking any medications.
It is difficult to say irregular heart beat without ant clinical confirmation.
I would advise
To consult your physician and get an electrocardiogram done to rule out any heart rate abnormality.
If nothing is there, need not worry. as being relaxed also helps your heart to be relaxed.
Hope i have answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask.
Thank you.
