What Causes Low Heart Rate, Nausea And Shaking?

Over the past two or three days, every time I've tried to sleep, I've woken up between a half hour to two hours later with an above average heart rate, nausea, and sometimes shaking. It almost feels like a panic attack, despite not being under much stress lately, and it's really impacting my ability to get a restful night's sleep, especially since part of me is almost nervous to go to bed knowing it may happen again.

Hello and thanks for writing.

I can understand your concern and would try to help you in the best possible way. Your symptoms may be related to hypoglycaemia i.e.. fall in blood glucose. I suggest that you measure your glucose level when such an episode happens.
If your sugars are normal then it is probably due to anxiety or panic attacks. I would suggest that if you are distressed about it, its best to consult a doctor. He may be able to get a full medical history and run some tests to get to the root of your problem and make a management plan for you.
