I'm 26 and I've been experiencing a weird situation recently. Whenever I try to take a nap during the day, I notice that my heart starts racing, but it usually settles down after a bit. However, after waking up, the palpitations come back for a while, which is really unsettling. This only seems to happen in the daytime, not at night. I recently finished treatment for a panic attack, including psychiatric counseling. Since I'm still having these palpitations, I'm unsure what to do next. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

Based on your symptoms and history of panic attacks, it is possible that you are experiencing residual anxiety leading to palpitations. I recommend trying a beta-blocker medication such as Propranolol. You can take Propranolol 10mg to 20mg once daily as needed to help reduce the palpitations and anxiety symptoms. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

I've been sleeping okay at night, but for the past four days, I've been waking up around 5 am with my heart racing. It's really weird and a bit scary. On top of that, I've been dealing with GERD for the last three weeks and taking Pantocid for it. What's going on with my heart? Should I be worried?

That could be due to GERD and follow healthy diet pattern and also sleep with head end elevation,all these preventive measures would resplve them soo follow them
