While I am resting and just about to doze off I am awakened by this sinking feelng in my heart as if it is going to stop. When I purposely try to stay awake the feeling goes away? What causes this? I am a heart patient recovering from stent surgery and in the day time I am doing well. I am fairly active. I dont get this feeling all the time.
The feeling mostly come when we have slow heart rate or Hypotension. When we sleep the heart rate get slower and if your one Beta blocker therapy reduce the doses
