Hello,

Do not worry about it simple anxiety also causes rapid heart rate. Coffee, tea, alcohol, other weight loss drinks may cause raised heart rate.

Few conditions like arrhythmia, hyperthyroidism, hyper metabolic states, anemia, beri beri may cause rapid heart rate. Just at sleeping heart rate if it is normal then alright.

Consult your physician if you have continuous rapid heart rate he may change to beta blockers to decrease blood pressure same time decrease heart rate.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
