Fast heart beat feeling/cant sleep? What is this?

For the last week or so, I fall asleep good for a couple hours and then I start tossing and turning and my heart beats really fast...I toss and turn trying to make it stop or get to a "relaxed state", but I end up getting up early because I cant take it anymore...once I am up for about 30 minutes it goes away...what IS This? I am trying to conceive too, so I dont want to get on any medication ...unless I HAVE to...I just dont know how to make this go away...its a pretty miserable feeling

Hi have u had ur heart check out yet at least by an ecg where they can see wats goin on during the fast hear rate but i think its just anxety for ur cases as you do not have other more symptoms and trying to control ur heart rate down will stress u more and cause more increase in heart rate so try to let it calm down itself it will if you do not add more fear and anxious thoughts to it

you sound anxious,and because of this your body is reacting,anxiety is terrible,makes you feel aggitated breathless amoung other things,try to relax dont concentrate on getting pregnant so much maybe this willease your anxiety a bit

Thanks Cheshchesh and r9c

Im not focusing SO much on the pregnant part as much as the job :( things are slow with my work..im self employed ....so when im not making anything $$ it makes me stressed-eventhough my husband can support me, I like to make my own-makes u feel good... :( Ive even applied for other jobs with no leads,,,,so THAT has added to it...but when i wake up anxious...im not thinking about anything or worrying that i know of...my mind is free of anything but my racing heart! :)

I know that you said that when the rapid heart rate happens you aren't thinking about anything but I really think it is your anxiety over you job situation.  It is probably always in the back of your mind so even it you dont' think you are thinking about it you can be.

I noticed that when I was worrying about my job I was more anxious and half the time I didn't realize I was even thinking about what was going on at work.  Our minds are so powerful and if we are always focusing on the negative we are going to be more anxious.

However I would suggest you go to your dr for a check up just to be on the safe side especially if you trying to get pregnant.  

I hope you feel better soon....
