Does anyone else wake up in the the night with their head racing not sure what it is thinking and also your heart racing. I must eventually get off to sleep but wake up tired and exhausted. Please tell me I am not going mad.xxx

Please report to your gp asap. This is not normal, I am not qualified to

diagnose or advise you. It's important to have that checked very soon,

if not today even if it is not acting up right now...

You should expect to be referred to a heart doctor who will decide if immediate

action will be taken or if you need to go home on a monitor for the heart..

It's a painless diagnostic test (holter monitor-heart recorder) I do believe

that it's standard practice here as well as there..I do wish you luck and stay

calm..You are not over reacting when it comes to matters of the heart..xxx Karen

Hi korky,you should definitely get it checked out with your g.p if it's something regarding your heart just to rule out any heart probs.Do you suffer with panic attacks at all? Please go see your g.p ASAP x

Hi - please don't ignore any heart problems/worries / see your doctor for reassurance :-)

I ignored some pretty obvious signs of heart problems earlier this year :-(

I suffered a heart attack on the 1st august :-(

I'm on the road to recovery now but it has taught me a valuable lesson :-)

Do yourself a favour and have a quick checkup with your g.p. ;-)

Hi there Korky I don't think you are going mad but a visit to your GP would be a good idea as the others have already said heart issues should not be ignored it is better to be safe than sorry :)

It could be anything or nothing. My husband wakes like that after he's had a nightmare for instance he never remembers the content of his dreams or nightmares but instead he feels the emotions and can remember being scared or threatened or happy etc if its just a dream ;) just a thought!

Many calming lavender fluffies for you

:) xxxzebxxx :)

Hi Korky, I would agree with what the others have said that you should get checked out by your doctor. I would however say that I have experienced very much the same thing, which my doctor put down to palpitations, but it is important that you do get medical advice about this, even just to rule out other more unpleasant things.

Sending positive healing vibes your way, and do let us know how you get on please :-)
