What's up?: Something is agitating you. Is it asthma? Are you in pain? (i see you take hydrocodone and amitriptyline) - pain will make your heart beat faster. Are you anxious? Do you wheeze? Do you smoke? I see you had a heart cath - was it normal? If so, nitro will not likely be of any value to you. If you're feeling stressed (we often ruminate lying in bed), it can make you short of breath with fast hr.
