I have are recently in the past 2 weeks have a racing heart while in a dream state, causing me to wake up If I sit up my heart will stop palpiations if I continue to lay down it continues to palpitate I have high blood pressure which is under control
I would explain that your symptoms could be related to anxiety or a metabolic disorder. For this reason, I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests: - A resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound. - An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring to investigate for possible cardiac arrhythmia. - Blood electrolytes for possible imbalance. - Thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid gland dysfunction. - Complete blood count for anemia.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Ilir Sharka
