Brief:
It's natural and has nothing to do with urinating.

Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.
Welcome to Health Care Magic.
My name is Dr Muhammad Ahmad & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way.

Reason:

You have to UPSTAIRS to urinate when ever you go upstairs to do anything it's our natural mechanism that our heart beat increases because body uses energy to go upstairs and heart has to provide it. If you urinate downstairs you will see there will be no increased heart beat.

Same is the case with sleeping on seete when we sleep our body needs less energy so heart get's slowed down ,but when you get up your brain your body get activated heart has to pump and your hear beat increases

WHY you feel bad: because you think it's abnormal thing and you get anxious.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health

Hi,
I can understand your query.
You seem to get the fast heart beats/paniky attacks after you suddenly get up from Setee & go some where.,
I feel it is postural hypotension -which is poor adjustments of heart work while changing postures ( specially from different levels)
* I would suggest to sit up on setee for 5-10 minutes take few sips of water & then get up to proceed to where ever you want.
* It is also advisable to get a cardiovascular check up / investigations to confirm medicine requirement.
Thanks.
