I'm not sure if it's an effect of the seroquel I take to sleep or an effect of the bad dreams I have but I noticed that my heart rate is higher then average . I track my sleep with sleep cycle. Does anyone else use this app? Has anyone else noticed this symptom?

Yes, I used to. Now I only notice it right before sleep, but I'm on all these meds for my chronic illnesses that knock me out, so I have to take thwm before bed. It's kind of nice, but the dreams are atrocious. If I try to sleep during the day, like a nap, then it still happens a lot. Hate it.

My np said my heart rate was normal. This past week my heart rate has averaged 80 bpm on waking up. This past month 78bpm. Since August 72bpm. It's going up.

To be honest, I hate it when they give you the "this is normal" line. Yes, it may be normal across all humans, but it may not be your particular normal.

Technically I qualify for bradycardia because my normal heartrate is below what is the normal range. So when my heartrate rises into the normal range, it feels like it is racing. And when it gets to the high end of normal, I feel like I want to pass out.

I think its good that you're monitoring your own heartrate over time. Don't let any doctor convince you that everything is a-o-k simply because you're in a normal range. Again, what matters most is what is normal for YOU!

When I was in the hospital, I usually have a sitting heartrate that is normal, about 70ish bpm, then when I stand it raises up to like 112bpm. The highest I've seen was maybe 120bpm. And that was when I had just woken up.

I didn't think it was related to trauma, but I know for me it's probably related to anxiety.

I have noticed a fast heart beat but mine happens when I'm trying to sleep. I find it upsetting because I don't know what is going on. My gp told me there was nothing wrong and said I just notice my heart beat because I'm lying still. I am going to tell her that it pounds real fast at times next time. I hope you can get help for yours as well.

A lot of times I feel like I wake up out of a panic attack in my sleep or something but I rarely remember whatever dream it was, it's just like, suddenly I'm awake and and I have that too. IDK if it's a PTSD thing or related to something else but it seemed to be a common thing in my support group and with other people in my unit that I've kept in touch with.

Mine shoots up to 110 or so at night. If I stand up it frequently goes into the 120s. I had to seek out paramedics once when my resting hr went to 156. ( I was on Seroquel at the time).

I've had numerous EKGs, an Echo, and tons of blood work. Apparently it's anxiety. Although now it's probably related to Xanax withdrawal.
