Hello,
What you describe sounds like an anxiety/panic symptom that appears when trying to sleep. Brief fear, palpitations, or headache at night can happen with stress or poor sleep hygiene. It is usually not dangerous, but should be evaluated if it repeats.
Next Steps
a. Practice relaxation before bed (deep breathing, meditation, avoiding screens).
b. Keep a sleep routine and avoid caffeine late in the day.
c. If episodes repeat or worsen, consult a psychiatrist/physician for proper evaluation.
Health Tips
If you also get chest pain, severe headache, or fainting, seek urgent medical help to rule out other causes.
