middle of the night wake up, chest pounding

[Sue Sue]

god I hate this.

[smock]

Aw, I hope you get back to sleep soon.

[Sue Sue]

mee tooo. Google Doc tells me it's likely dehydration; so I'm having a glass of water.

[kerice]

That happens to me too. It really does stink.

[CheshireGrin]

Does this happen to you often? Does your cardiologist know?

[Sue Sue]

Ii mentioned it to my dr (an internist); she ran a thyroid test and an ekg, they were normal.

[CheshireGrin]

Weren't you having palpitations or something at one point and seeing a cardiologist? Maybe I made that up.

Sorry, I'm still in work mode. I want to jump into the computer and do a full cardiac assessment on you.

[Sue Sue]

No cardiologist. Just the internist.
blood pressure is normal; no chest pains; just these poundings in the night at times.

[Sue Sue]

thanks Chesh. I don't think it's anything but annoying.

[mrsbpo]

Mine was stress and dehydration. Go drink. I'm having a glass before I go to bed.

[mountaingirl]

Sounds like anxiety to me. Hope you get back to sleep quickly.
