Read More »Overview What are heart palpitations at night? Heart palpitations feel like your heart is pounding, racing or beating quickly. It can also feel like your heart is skipping a beat or like you have an extra heartbeat. Palpitations make you aware of your heart rate. You may feel your heart beating in your chest, but it’s also common to feel it beating in your neck or throat. Heart palpitations can happen anytime, including at night or when you’re resting during the day. They can be scary, but they aren’t usually dangerous. Many people have the same heart palpitations during the day but don’t notice because they’re busy. Less commonly, heart palpitations at night can be signs of a serious health condition, such as arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm). If your heart often races when you lie down, you should see your provider for an examination. Get help right away if you have palpitations and trouble breathing or chest pain. How common are heart palpitations at night? Heart palpitations are very common. They happen to many people throughout the day. But you’re more likely to notice heart palpitations when you aren’t distracted. You might sense them when you’re sitting still, resting or lying down. Diagnosis and Tests How do healthcare providers diagnose heart palpitations at night? Your provider will ask about your symptoms and listen to your heart. They may recommend a blood test (complete blood count or CBC) to look for anemia or infection. A blood test can also show signs of a vitamin deficiency or a problem with your thyroid. To monitor your heart rate, they may do an electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG). This test measures your heart rate using sensors that attach to your skin. They may ask you to lie down during the test, which usually takes about 15 minutes. Many times, an EKG doesn’t detect heart palpitations. You might not have an irregular heartbeat during the test. If this happens, your provider may recommend an ambulatory electrocardiogram such as a Holter monitor. You wear this device for up to a week as you go about your daily activities. It records your heart rate (and any irregular heartbeats) and stores the information for your provider to review. Management and Treatment How do I manage heart palpitations at night? Most of the time, heart palpitations at night don’t require treatment, especially if they only happen occasionally. You may be able to relieve heart palpitations at night yourself. If your heart is racing at night, you should: Breathe deeply: Try pursed lip breathing techniques, which involve long, deep breaths. You can also meditate and try other relaxation techniques to reduce stress. Try pursed lip breathing techniques, which involve long, deep breaths.

Try rolling over in bed, sitting up or going for a short walk around the room while taking deep breaths. If a health condition is causing palpitations, your provider will treat the condition. Treatments vary depending on the cause. Sometimes, providers prescribe a type of medicine called beta blockers to treat palpitations. These medications slow the heart rate and reduce palpitations. Prevention Can I prevent heart palpitations at night? You may not be able to prevent heart palpitations at night, but you can lower your risk. You should: Avoid drinking too much alcohol or caffeine, especially before bed. If you smoke, talk to your provider about a plan to quit smoking. Don’t eat a big meal (especially foods that are high in fat, carbs, salt or sugar) right before you go to bed. Get treatment for anxiety or depression. Talk to your provider about antidepressant medication and therapy. Take steps to reduce stress on a daily basis. Try meditation, yoga, diaphragmatic breathing and other relaxation techniques. Maintain a healthy weight. If you carry extra weight or have obesity, ask your provider about a weight loss plan. Outlook / Prognosis What is the outlook for people with heart palpitations at night? Most people with heart palpitations at night don’t require treatment. If palpitations happen from time to time, they aren’t usually dangerous. Many people find relief from heart palpitations at night after making changes to their diet or lifestyle. These changes may include avoiding alcohol and managing stress. If you have heart palpitations that result from a heart problem, thyroid disease or other health condition, talk to your provider about your prognosis. To relieve your symptoms, your provider will treat the condition that’s causing them.
