It seems for the past couple of weeks i would take little naps and wake up with a rapid heart beat kinda freaking me out what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nocturnal tachycardi: This could be psychiatric (eg anxiety), endocrine (eg hyperactive thyroid), cardiac (eg arrhythmia, structural heart disease). Since its been going on for a couple of weeks its a good idea to see your doctor. Good luck and sweat dreams. Avoid or minimize caffeinated beverages.
