Why do i jolt awake with a pulse in 50s at onset of sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Consider sleep apnea: Sudden jolts to waking in early phases of sleep might signify sleep apnea where the trigger is a lack of ventilation resulting in low oxygen levels in your blood. Sleep apnea is also associated with slowed heart rtes particularly while asleep.
