Can Anxiety Disorder Cause Heart Palpitations?
Racing heart wakes me from dead sleep after a night of getting drunk. It usually occurs Bout 2-3 hours after I fall asleep. Feels like a adrenaline rush. May I add I suffer from anxiety disorder. Not sure if this is the cause of my racing heart. Now I don't drink at all but I would like to be normal and drink from time to time with friends. Help
