I am finding lately that I am having heart palpitations sometimes through the night, but most regularly just before I get up. I think I need to have a fleet study done,but have insomnia and think that I probably won t sleep anyway. Does it sound like sleep apnea?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have insomnia along with heart palpitation during nights. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like atrial fibrillation , excessive caffeine use , panic attack , hyperthyroidism or acid reflux . I would suggest you to consult cardiologist for proper examination without any delay . Doctor may order ECG , holter monitoring or check vitals , also find out trigger factor . your doctor may recommend ways for you to avoid the triggers that cause your palpitations.If your palpitations are caused by a condition, such as an arrhythmia, your treatment will focus on correcting the condition.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
