No, I am not drinking too much caffeine. In fact, I have cut back to one cup of coffee per day since my PAC's started last November. All I know is that when I lay down at night, my heart pumps so loud, and then after about 1/2 hour or so, my hands and lower legs/feet start to tremble. Again, could this be related to my heart palpitations? Do you think maybe I have some type of sleep disorder? Or could it just be nerves? Please reply. thanx

I don't think it's related to the palpitations and it's not typical for sleep disorders. That would leave anxiety and a possible cause. Have you discussed this with your physician?
