Sleep problem and palpitations. Relief!

Hi, I appreciate that you reached out with your concern. Despite taking your BP medication, exercising, and meditating, it remains same, i suggest you consult a therapist for further evaluation like psychometric testing to know the root cause. Since your symptoms are persisting, it’s important to rule out any underlying causes like stress or anxiety can contribute to palpitations.

For psychometric testing and therapy, you may book an appointment with Rupali Mohbe/BIRDY ME at Practo

If they have occurred first time, then you may need to have your baseline investigations like CBC, TFT, ECG done. If everything is normal. Then you may need to see a psychiatrist for evaluation of any related anxiety.

Do investigations and report to a physician who may refer to psychiatrist if needed

It sounds like your palpitations and sleep disturbances might be linked to anxiety, stress, or an underlying medical condition despite taking your high blood pressure medication regularly. Since you’re already exercising and meditating, but still experiencing symptoms, it’s important to rule out potential causes like electrolyte imbalances, dehydration, excessive caffeine intake, or medication side effects. Keeping a sleep journal to track when palpitations occur (before sleep, after eating, during stressful thoughts) can help identify triggers. You might benefit from progressive muscle relaxation, controlled breathing (like 4-7-8 breathing), and CBT techniques for stress management to calm your nervous system before bed. However, since palpitations persist despite healthy lifestyle efforts, it’s best to consult a doctor for an ECG or Holter monitor test to rule out any underlying heart rhythm issues.
