heart beating fast at night can’t sleep
Every night when I get home, I’m obviously exhausted, but I can’t sleep after laying in bed for hours. My mind is full of unfinished work.
The most frustrating thing is that even though I am so tired that I can’t open my eyes, my heart is beating non-stop when I lie in bed. I can hear my heartbeat when I sleep on my side, and I feel like my heart is about to burst out of my chest when I lie flat. My palms, soles of feet, and chest are also hot. Sometimes my legs and feet are cold at night, but my back is hot and sweaty… Really! No exaggeration!
Sometimes, when I was almost falling asleep, there was a sudden “bang” (maybe a car passing by outside the window or someone walking upstairs), and I woke up as if I had been electrocuted, my heart started beating faster, and then I couldn’t fall asleep again…
Until one day, I couldn’t hold on any longer – my heartbeat accelerated until 3 a.m. that night, and I almost fell asleep in a meeting the next day. I decided I had to go to the hospital (I was really afraid of sudden death at my workstation)!
The doctor did an electrocardiogram, checked my thyroid function, and performed a cardiac ultrasound, and finally said that my insomnia and palpitations were caused by “autonomic nervous system dysfunction.”
He suggested that I try herbal pills first and prescribed me a few boxes of Heavenly King Heart-Nourishing Pill Tianwang Buxin Wan+ZhiBaiDiHuangWan. Use them to relieve insomnia. They are also a herbal supplement for insomnia.(I actually insisted on taking western medicine because I thought it would work immediately and I wanted to have a good night’s sleep right away)
But the doctor explained to me the difference between Western medicine and Chinese patent medicine, and I realized that although Western medicine works quickly, the side effects cannot be ignored:
- It is easy to become addicted, and it may be more difficult to fall asleep after stopping the medicine after long-term use
- It may cause drowsiness and memory loss the next day, affecting work
- Long-term use may also cause drug resistance, and the dosage needs to be continuously increased
- Some Western medicines may also cause adverse reactions such as dry mouth, dizziness, and gastrointestinal discomfort
After taking these herbal pills for 2 weeks, I can clearly feel that my heartbeat is not as intense. I used to toss and turn in bed for 3-4 hours before falling asleep, but now I can fall asleep within 1 hour after going to bed.
