See your doctor: While your palpitations may be caused by anxiety, only an examination by your physician can rule out other potential causes. When your doctor finds the cause, appropriate treatment will make it easier to sleep.

Palpitations: Reduce intake of caffeine, alcohol, decongestants, other stimulants first. If that does not help, then seek medical advice.
