When I try to go to sleep at night or occasionally take a nap, I sometimes get a rapid heartbeat. It just happened to me while trying to get my baby to sleep. I felt funny, like I couldnt move and it really scared me! I have not done any type of physical exercise today, have not had more than a few sips of caffeine. I was so scared I was going to have a heart attack that I actually got up and into the chair so I would be by the phone...I have migraine & tension headaches but thank God it eased off a lot. Right now I am just really concerned with the irregular, fast heartbeat. I hope it was maybe a mild anxiety attack or just because I was in that rest period and was noticing any small change.
Hi, Dont worry, such heartbeats are usually benign in women. It can be caused by over tiredness, anxiety, loss of good sleep. Sometimes there is no obvious reason. If you don't breastfeed I would advise you to take Valerie for a couple of days. Even if you don't take anything they will disappear gradually. Take fearsome back if you have any further questions
