What Causes Sleeplessness Due To Rapid Heart Rate?

most nights i seem to have a problem sleeping as my heart seems to be beating too fast and once ive set my mind on it it doesn t stop. to begin with i had panic attacks as i smoke marajuana and im quite a stressed individual but now my chest hurts regularly, and when i try fall asleep at night i ll be woken up all of a sudden struggling for breath. even after a walk or just going out with some friends my heart starts to pound, i m really really worried, if i know i can t die because of it i d be so much more relaxed but i m sure it s something more than a panic attack.

Hello,

I suggest you as a first step to do a 24-48 h ECG Holter monitoring to see the exact problem with the rhythm.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
