What Causes Pounding Heart Beat During Nights?

My husband died in July and I ve been very stressed keeping our company going without him. For the past few weeks I m having problems sleeping because I can feel my heartbeat very loudly and it s hard to sleep. I also wake up 2 or 3 times in the night and that s not usual for me, and I find it hard getting back to sleep again because of the heartbeat. I m feeling really tired out. My pulse is also weaker than it normally is. Do I need to visit my doctor?

Hi..I can understand your concern...As per your query its seem that you are getting a lot of stress,both emotional and work pressure.The heartbeat which you are feeling loudly is medically called palpitation..Don't be over exerted .Life is all about to move ahead.....You can take an anti anxiety drug like alprazolam which will regulate your sleep and also reduce your stress.Don't take it for long period.you can take it for 1week....As it is a prescription drug you need to consult a physician about taking it.. I hope the information helps you.Take care.
