Why Does My Heart Rate Pick Up When I Try To Sleep?
Only when I try to sleep my heart rate picks up dramatically, when i close my eyes i get this funny sensation in my head then the rate picks up, as soon as I wake up I'm taking deep breaths to slow down my Heart rate. I don't sweat when i wake up, I don't take drugs. I have been exercising 4-5 days a week (running), I drink a half gallon of water now that I think about it. Not good. I'm 26 years old male. This has happened before but not often and consistent. Pretty much for the past 2 weeks everyday I'm having this problem. Any advice?

Dear I read your scenario. You should go for investigation like ECG ,X-RAY CHEST and ECHO. if the results are normal then you should avoid fatty food. Do daily exercise and check your blood pressure on weekly basis. Thanks for asking. If you have any problem you can go to near doctor thanks.
