    Margaret, thanks for your support. Yes, keep calm Amy!

    You can achieve this state much better if your doctor has told you there is nothing to worry about having done the tests, or if there is something that needs fixing to put you on the appropriate medical path.

    But that first step is to consult a Doctor.

    My heart races when I start falling asleep - it is triggered by exercise, everytime I exercise it will happen duing the night, heart rate goes up to about 113 then wakes me up sweating. If I don't exercise during the day it doesn't happen. My heart rate on the treadmill is only about 95 walking.

    My guess is an electrical problem, I am 55 it started happening about 2 years ago but has gotten worse lately.
