A member asked:

I eat lots of sugar before bedtime i wake up the next morning with a higher than usual hr. why is this?hr upon waking 75+. i take atenolol daily 75mg

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diet/HR: Blood sugar elevations may or may not affect your heart rate especially if you are diabetic or pre- diabetic. I suggest a formal glucose tolerance test by your PCP and certainly modifying your diet, avoiding bedtime sugar loading. Call for formal blood testing and also have your thyroid function evaluated.
