General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There are a number of possible reasons for increased heart rate such as : (A) due to problems related to the heart itself (B) anemia (C) thyroid disease (D) infection (e)side effect of medication (F) due to other medical conditions

Increased heart rate at night may not be related to the heart itself.
Other causes should be ruled out before determining it is related to the stomach or another part of the gastrointestinal tract.

This means that you should have: (A) an ECG (to take a look at the rate and rhythm of the heart, look for any areas of decreased blood supply),
(B) blood tests such as thyroid function tests and a complete blood count (checks for anemia)

I hope this helps
