Suggest Treatment For Waking Up With Fast Heartbeat And Vomiting

Daughter, age 10, wakes up often within an hour or less of going to bed with a rapid heartbeat, clammy and rigid to where if I touch her, she will be almost in a frozen state. Often times, she will vomit and then snap out of her spell and not remember what happened. Is this dangerous and what can I do to help her?

Hello
Sudden wake up after 1-2 hours after sleep , with clammy , rigid , fast heart beat , all these symptoms may be due to , these includes .
1 Hyper acidity or gastritis , due to over eating or due to un adjustable food , so following measures will help.
Try raising the head of your daughter about 4 inches with blocks.It also might help to avoid EATING or Drinking for 2 hours before she lie down.To help control stomach acid one should not drink with caffeine in them or eat chocolates or spicy or greasy foods . Also take some antacid but if symptoms are sever she may need drugs like proton pump inhibitors like pantoloc -D one or twice in day till complete cure.
The 2nd reason of such symptoms may be anxiety or tension or fear ( of any thing ) , so , if think such things please consult psychiatrist and get his help.
In my opinion all these symptoms are due to over eating or due to as above mentioned . Rapid heart beat , clammy , rigidity are due to hyper acidity .
But just for precaution get in an E K G and consult a physician .
Good luck.
