Suggest Remedies For Raised Heart Beats
Hi, I'm a 16 years old girl.
When I was sleeping I suddenly woke up and realized that my heart was beating really fast, it has never been like this before.. I got really scared .. I thought some spirit was sleeping on top of me or something, so i went to sleep with my sister( It was still the same ) My heart was pounding so fast, the bed moves. I am not sure why this is happening. I'm really scared, and I guess I should try not to panic. What should I do? I don't want to go back to sleep... It is now 5:12 A.M. I'm so worried... but, it's getting a little better now. I thought I would have to call the ambulance.. I hope this doesn't continue..

Hi,
It is stress related. Once it happens and you get scared, it will get much worse. Therefore, try to calm down and do not think a lot about it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
