I've been having a really hard time with my sleep schedule. I tend to crash around 7 or 8 in the evening and can barely stay up past 9 p.m. It's like my body just shuts down after dinner, and I'm struggling to understand why this is happening. On top of that, I'm experiencing some other weird stuff. Whenever I sit down or stand up quickly, my heart starts racing like crazy, and it also happens if I suddenly fall onto the bed. I've heard of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and anxiety symptoms, and I know they can cause things like this, along with heavy sweating and really dry skin. But even after trying anxiety meds, nothing seems to change. What could be going on with me? Any ideas?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). POTS is a condition characterized by an abnormal increase in heart rate that occurs after sitting up or standing. The symptoms you described, such as racing heart when changing positions, feeling tired in the evening, and sweating, can be associated with POTS. For the symptoms of POTS, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake, wearing compression stockings, and doing exercises to improve blood flow. Additionally, medications like midodrine or fludrocortisone may be prescribed to help manage your symptoms. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm 41, unmarried, and I'm carrying quite a bit of extra weight108 kg with a height of 5 feet 7 inches. I've got asthma and I used to take Formoflo inhaler 250mg and Asthalin rotohaler 200mg regularly, even Montek AB for a bit. But since I haven't had symptoms for a while, I stopped. Then recently, after climbing stairs, I had some breathing trouble and found myself needing to take deep breaths and yawning a lot throughout the evening. I did an ECG a week ago that showed everything was okayjust that my heart skipped a beat. My last master health check-up was 45 days ago and that was fine too. I saw a cardiologist because I had chest pain, and they suggested doing a TMT. I've also got GERD. So, my mind's been racing a bitshould I be worried about heart disease or fluid in my lungs? I'd really appreciate some guidance.

Couldn't sleep well last night and only got a little bit of rest today. I didn't have any chest pain earlier, but now, during nighttime, I suddenly felt a shooting pain on the right side of my chest. It only lasts a few seconds, kinda like a sudden leg ache or headache. I also noticed an extra heartbeat. Could this be related to my heart? Why do we get chest pain when we're sleep-deprived?
Chest pain, especially on the right side, along with an extra heartbeat can be concerning symptoms. It is important to rule out any heart-related issues. However, in the context of being sleep-deprived, chest pain can also be caused by muscle strain or tension. To help with the chest pain and irregular heartbeat, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. Additionally, consider taking a muscle relaxant like methocarbamol to help with any muscle tension that may be contributing to the pain. Make sure to get adequate rest and improve your sleep hygiene to prevent further episodes.
