I've been having trouble breathing when I'm lying down, but I feel fine otherwise. It's been happening on and off for a few months, but the nights of December 11th and 12th were really tough for me. What could be causing this, and should I be worried about it?

I'm a 28-year-old woman and I've noticed something odd with my heart rate. Even though I don't have any family history of heart disease and I'm generally healthy, my heart suddenly races from normal up to 127 to 170 bpm. This happens when I'm just resting or even asleep and can last for 5 to 15 minutes each time. It occurs about 2 to 5 times a day and I've been experiencing this since I was 7 years old. I'm starting to get a bit worried about it. What could be causing this?
