What Causes Vivid Nightmares At Night?

For the past week or so, I have been having dreams where I think I ve awoken but I m actually still sleeping and just waking up in my dream- then they turn to nightmares . When I finally do ACTUALLY awake, my heart is palpitating in my chest at a very rapid pace. Any suggestions as to what I can do to stop these/this from continuing to occur?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Night mares, bad dreams etc are sign of stress and anxiety.
So in my opinion, you should definitely consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
