Pressure And Hard Heart Beat While Trying to Sleep ...... Posted: 05-20-04 04:26am
Ok, 29 year old male , non smoker/drinker,
healthy otherwise, I have had this problem
for about a year , pressure from the
throat to my stomach, slight pains at
times on right or left side, and the
feeling of my heart beat gets very
pronounced, burping, every night when I
lay down to sleep, sometimes I have the
pressure durring the day , but very light,
also at times I get very hot and sweaty at
night if it is bad, I have to sit up for a
few hrs , once I get finaly sleep , I wake
up around 3am or so and I am fine I can
sleep laying as flat as I want .....Doctor
has given me neumerous medications for
acid reflux, but none help, I never have
heartburn, and stool seems normal ....
I just cant sleep beacause of the pressure
and heart beat ... It helped for a
while to lay sitting up , but in the last
month or so it seems nothing helps , I
have tried changing diet, eating earlyer ,
nothing helps, always like a clock when I
try and sleep, I have had 24hr ekg and
echo cardiogram, all looked great ( heart
area pains were bothering me )
any ideas ??

I Am the Same? Posted: 07-04-04 21:38pm
Hi there,
for the last two weeks I have had pretty
much the exact same symptons as you, from
everything to the hot and sweaty to the
need to sit up for a few hours. Usually
when I get hot and sweaty I get very sick
to my stomach but I always manage to not
throw up. Everything is the sam symptons
though...
Have you gotten any information, or found
anything that helps?

I have had a problem similar to this for
the last few months. It happens on and
off, but runs in streaks. I am now in my
4th striaght night of it. I fall asleep,
no problem. Within 2 to 3 hours after I
am asleep, I wake up with bad heartburn
and a burning pain behind my left rib cage
near my back. I always feel pressure in
the abdomen, and I have cramping
sensations until I finally pass gas.
There is moderate relief shortly after
passing gas but the symptoms usually start
up again in a few minutes. If I am real
lucky, I can go back to sleep in a few
minutes after passing gas. This can go
on for hours and I cannot go back to sleep
because of the pain, which is always
temporarily removed by the passing of
gas. After I pass and the symptoms
recede, I try to sleep and get nausiated
when I close my eyes. In many cases I
felt like going to emergency but I know
the pain will eventually stop. I have
had acid reflux and take medication i.E.
Prilosec for that problem... This is
something else, driving me crazy....

i too have been feeling the same way it
all started when i was babysitting some
kids and i was feeding the baby his bottle
and i noticed my right arm going numb and
a wierd feeling in my neck and then my
heart started pounding and when i stood
up my whole body started shaking, i
thought i was having a heart attack. i
have never had any problems at all or have
felt any numbness in my arms, but i went
to the doctor and they did an ekg and
chest exam and told me i was completly
fine, and thats scary for a doctor to say
that to you when you know theres something
wrong with you, this probly happend a
month ago and i still fell funny most of
the time, i will feel hot and sweaty and a
little numb and sometimes i feel like i
cant hear that good and my heart starts
beating faster.

numb arm, painful neck, heart pallipaitation and body shaking Posted: 07-23-08 00:20am
Two days ago my left arm felt almost
lifeless and I had some pain in my neck,
especially when I put my head down
forward. It felt like a shooting pain in
my left shoulder blade. The following day
the numbness seemed to go away as well as
the pain. Last night I went to sleep and
woke at 3am to my heart beating extremely
fast. I stood up out of bed and my whole
body was shaking. This went on for I would
say about 2 or 3 minutes but it felt like
forever. I noticed that I was sweating and
under my hair in the back was soaked. I
felt disorientated as if I was not
completely coherent . This was the worst
feeling I have ever had in my entire life.
I am a 32 year old mother of 2 and all I
could think of was I cant die yet! I threw
on some clothes and went to the ER. I was
given an EKG and a chest Exray. The doctor
told me that he didn't see any signs of
distress on my heart at that moment. He
said he has had the complaint from many ,
many patients and there has been no
answer. This is completely insane to me.
This is my life and I want answers. I will
not stop until I have some.
I came on this forum to find that 5 other
people have had the same exact symptoms
and have pretty much heard the same
results, nothing. It is hard for me to
believe that what happened to me has no
explanation. I know that others have gone
through this have suffered. I don't want
to hear that I am young and this happens
often. I want to know why this is
happening to so many people.
If you have been through this then you
know what it is like after the episode to
stress wondering when it will happen again
or even if it will be worse the next time.
I am scared to close my eyes and go to
sleep. If anyone out there reads this and
has heard of this and has some answers
Please help me put my mind at ease.
