Sorry to be a pain, Normally I have been able to get this stuff through my head , but it's like every other night now I am loosing sleep. Over the years I have had holter monitors, ekg's, stress tests and you would think I would be happy that nothing comes back that is serious.
I wrote earlier that My PVC's are more active and that I had a chest cold... I also had written about GI problems I have had that would cause my heart to race or pound... and granted although a pulse of 95-110 may not be dangerous in and of itself , when you are trying to sleep well it becomes frustrating.
I have suffered with anxiety issues on and off over my life, so I have some 5 MG Valium tablets. It seems that I get this faster heart rate when I am laying down to go to sleep, now I know what anxiety and panic are, and I am not feeling anxious at the time, nor is it a panic attack. I have tried eating earlier and not going to bed on a full stomach. I have had an upper GI recently with no bad report. So what has happened I will try and and lay there and deal with it , the faster pulse, however I can't get to sleep. So I get frustrated with it. By 2:30 Am I am thinking I have to get to sleep ... I have work... So I take a half of a 5 mg valium.... within minutes I am asleep. Last night it happened again, So this time I took a 1/4 of a valium ... mind you these are only 5 MG to start with. within minutes I am asleep.. Now this has happen this since Saturday just about every other day. That little bit of valium sure isn't putting me to sleep, but I think it takes the edge off enough to make me sleep.
My point of the long post is that , If this was a serious electrical problem with my heart , I doubt that taking a small amount of valium would make it so I could sleep. Thus i think I am prooving to myself that this is anxiety related. But why can't I get it through my thick skull , why do I continue to torture myself into thinking , well maybe this is different.
Does my logic make any sense, if this were something more significant a little bit of valium wouldn't let me sleep. But why does this continually seem to happen at night.. no matter how early I eat..
Sorry to go on and on,, but I am tired and becoming frustrated with this ...
Have a great day...
KC
