Suggest Treatment For Racing Heart Beat
I'm a 27 year old male who is healthy exercise 3-4 times a week (brisk walk) and have a history of anxiety I was under alot of stress lately but have started to feel like normal again except when I wake up during the night or in the morning my heart rate feels like it's racing. Its usually 90-102 per my pulse ox. My resting pulse when I first lay down at night is anywhere from 54-60 bpm. Is this normal? Am I just now noticing it because of my anxiety?

hello,I have gone through your question.Thanks for using HCM.Actually heart beats vary between 60 to 100 during the course of the day.During sleep it is on lower side and higher during day and activity.so In your case this seems to be due to anxiety. I would suggest you to take Tab.Alprazolam 0.25 at bed time for a week or so.Also request not to measure pulse for few days.you will be fine soon.
My best wishes
