Sorry to hear you're suffering with the ectopic heartbeats. I also suffered more in the evenings and when laying on my left side. I am fine 99% of the time now, which I have achieved by cutting out all sugar, caffeine and alcohol. I was diagnosed with food intolerances and Candidiasis in the gut which had spread through tiny holes in my gut wall, in to my blood stream and had started collonising around my body, particularly in my chest, causing tightness and pain much like yourself.
I followed a strict diet for 6 months, also cutting out all wheat,yeast,lactose and other foods I was intolerant to. Do you have any other symptoms in your body? It may be worth you checking out Erica White's Candida website. It's a funny illness which affects individuals in lots of different ways, and the ectopic beats were certainly part of my problem. I also heard that when you're having an attack to lie on the floor on your back and 'bear down'.
I still have to stay well clear of all 'stimulants' and it takes a long time to rid youself of the candida but the heartbeat problemt used to really scare me so it's been well worth the effort - I feel 100 times more energetic and all my other symptoms have gone too.
Good luck.
