Dear medical team,
It is now in the middle of the night again and I cannot sleep. I have pressure on my chest, a strange lump in my throat feeling with tension, and oh everything feels weird. Just before falling asleep, I jerk awake, thinking my heart is racing. I can't take it anymore, how often I get these symptoms.
Good morning,
I assume that you have already been examined and that everything is fine with your heart.
Startling before falling asleep is actually harmless. However, if it is very stressful, the best solution is to talk to a psychologist to find out why you keep startling and can't simply fall asleep.
Best regards,
Dr. Schaaf
