I am trying to sleep and when I feel like I am about to sleep, my heart starts racing. I try to ignore it and continue trying to sleep but it just gets worse. Its really frustrating.

Hi, Do you eat any sweets or drink soda few hours before going to sleep? If you do, you need to stop .

Pls try ur best not to eat anything sweet for a day or two and you will see that ur heart palpitations will be less. Cut sugar and caffeine.

Take care.

Hello, I used to get this all the time, going to bed anxious is what set it off for meow also caffeine! every time I drink caffeine I get so nervous. But when this happens to me I always sit up and do some breathing exercises, I put on calming music and try to relax. If that doesn't work I watch a YouTube video or a funny show that I like to take my mind off of it and once I take my mind off of it I don't realize it or it doesn't happen anymore. I don't know if this is going to be helpful to you but I hope you get some relief because I know how scary/ frustrating it can be! xx
