Does anyone experience ectopic heartbeats during times of increased stress levels?

I experience some irregular beats sometimes and I have a thyroid condition and take pills and have read that the thyroid can cause them. They usually come when I have laid down and then they stop. I find if I take a deep breath and then let it out slowly I can get it to stop doing that.

Hubby also has it but he has had heart attacks in past from blocked artieeies but his docs have assured us he is fine and won't die from this irregular beats He normally has a pause after every third beat It's like he's doing the waltz w his heart !

I have been told by Doctors that it is harmless, but I hate having them and know the more I focus on them, the more frequent they become. Thanks for replying.
