Sudden heart beat fast at night
Yesterday while using phone at night, I fell asleep and went on a short nap. But then I woke up suddenly, and my heart was pounding fast. I felt anxious and uncomfortable.. I immediately got out of my bed too, went out of my room
But then I got better and sat down. In 5 mints my heart rate returned to normal and I slept later on
Due to rising number of heart rate incident, I am worried if this episode was about heart

Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Hie , You were mentioning that your heart beat was pounding , it may be palpitation or increase in Heart rate .Palpitation is when you can hear your heart beats increasing, it may be due to any secondary diseases like Hypertension .But most of the time ,if it is seen at night time then it may be due to any slee disturbances or if you visualise any disturbing dream .If you are facing this issue frequently , then you can better consult a Doctor .One more thing i would like to mention that heart diseases are preventable if you take care of your health properly, do regular exercises,avoid fried fatty foods and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Next Steps
Wait and watch ,if symptoms worsens then should consult a Doctor.

Hi dear
Did u check how much was the heart rate ?
Usually a bad dream or something can sometimes lead to the complaints that u are describing and so it should not be of much concern .
However if u experience something like this or an alteration in ur heart rate again then it's better to get ur heart evaluated.
Kindly consult if u have any further queries
Take care
