I have been having this problem for months now and it's so difficult to explain. It's happens every night and it's impossible to stop. It's not anxiety because it happens even when I am relaxed and happy. Just on the verge of falling asleep in the twilight zone so to speak my heart starts to race and I feel shaky. It usually wakes me up and my heart rate quickly returns to normal. I have to go through this process again and again until I am so tired I just sleep through it. Also feel it in the early hours and just before waking up. I know this sounds crazy but believe me it's a serious problem that is affecting my health. Which was good prior to this, ie non drinker, non smoker, healthy weight. I have seen 2 cardiologists, had an MRI scan, echo, and ecg. They say my heart is good. I personally think it could be neurological. Please message me if you can shed any light on this problem. But please don't tell me its anxiety or stress or my imagination.
