What Could Be The Reason For Having A Kind Of Heart Palpitations That Wakes Me Up?
Hi, at night I ve been having a kind of heart palpitation that will wake me up every so often. I will then feel weak and almost like my heart could stop any moment. It s possible this cold be stress induced, however I started taking Risperdal a week ago and found that it made me feel worse so I stopped a day ago. Could this be a reaction from stopping the med and could it be bad for my heart. I m afraid maybe because I stopped it that now it ave me some kind of rhythm or fibrillation problem.
