A member asked:

Why do i get palpitations when i wake up, even when there's no alarm ringing? what can i do to just wake up calmly?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Take deep breaths: If you first wake up and have palpitations, that is different from being awakened by palpitations. First check your heart rate. If it below 100 that is reassuring. If there are no other times that you get the palpitations, have no exercise intolerance or chest pain with exercise then anxiety is a likely cause. Caffeine, illicit drugs and prescribed meds may contribute.
