Despite being exhausted last night, I could feel my body pulsating rapidly and heavily while lying in bed and waiting to fall asleep. I dont have a medical history of any complications. By 2.30am, when I was at my wits end, I finally resorted to taking an anxiolytic before I finally dozed off at 3am. Please let me know if my symptoms point twards any particular condition(s). Thank you for your time and kind attention.
Hello, thank you for putting your trust in our site, my name is Chat Doctor. What you did experience last night is called palpitations which is a rapid hard heartbeat, and the most common cause for heart palpitations is anxiety. Other causes include; hyperthyroidism and arrhythmia, and since you don't have any other symptoms suggested for hyperthyroidism or a cardiac issue then mostly what you had is just anxiety cause you probably stressed out or overthinking about a particular issue, and you will need any treatment just avoid
