Hello,

The rapid heart rate during night with back pain indicate possible anxiety with muscle spasm. Though valium for anxiety and sleep maintenance as well as Inderal for heart rate control during such episode are helpful, those would be transient relief agents. Rather I would suggest that once you consult your primary care for basic work up and decide further course of action accordingly.

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