I am trying to go to sleep and my heart is pounding ( about 100 times per min.). it has been going on for over 10 min. what should i do?

Wait it out.: If you are feeling well, heart rate is regular and you have no other significant signs or symptoms this is likely anxiety. You will be able to tell this for sure if the heart rate gradually slows down.
