Why does my heart beat fast at night?

Why can I hear my own heart beat at night?

  • I can hear the sound of my heart beating sometimes loudly.

  • Answer:

    I would like to know if you 'hear' it from your chest, or if you just 'hear' the steady pulse in your ears beating? I have had heard what sounds like the beating of my heart in my ears several times. Recently I discovered it was due to an inner ear clogging and was due to my sinuses. So using an anti- hystamine for a few days, relieved me of that. But in the past I also 'heard' the beating, and it was never ending. After seeing a doctor for specifically that, I learned I had high blood pressure. So I was put on meds for that and since I've had it under control, I've stopped having that to put up with. So whenever I head the pulsating or beating, I know now it's an inner ear clogging and I'm hearing my pulse. And I will hold my nose and blow for pressure to maybe open the ear canals. But it often doesn't work, but the pill does. If you are actually hearing your heart beat from your chest and can feel the more frequent activity, you do need to see a doctor who can give you something to ease your stress if that is the cause. I would think by being in a relaxation mode you wouldn't have stress. But you can learn to manage that. In any case, please see your doctor if this continues. Since it's not a normal occurance for you.

Maybe you are in love. You should hear my heart after a night of drinking and carousing. My neighbors tell me to stop beating that drum.

Lots of people do. I fact your blood pressure is at its highest in the morning which is why most heart attacks happen around then.

Good Day, This is only my opinon and it is not professional. Let me ask you a few questions. Does it seem to et worse if you trun your head or bend down. Or laydown. do you hear your heart and or like a WOSSH WUUSH..Like a heartbeat it is awfull and can be a scary feeling.. Sometimes it can wake your form a dead sleep. It could be something called Empty Sella Syndrome.. Some women say the same thing. One I have read said.."..which is when the cavity that contains your pituitary gland enlarges and fills with fluid. In 10% of cases this leads to increased intracranial pressure. Which becomes an issue with "drainage"...which may be why I get the flem in my throat so frequently..especially when laying down. This has not been cofirmed yet. I have to have spinal tap to be sure this is the problem. The Dr. said just having the spinal tap may relieve the pressure. The other possiblity would be a "glomus tumor" but the MRI does not show any signs of a growth. Empty sella syndrome seems to be more prevalent in women in their 30's who are overweight. But she is not over weight. Go to your doctor and tell him you did your own symptom check with some friends and someone advised you to please be checked for this..Here is a link that will give you more information about it. http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/emptysella/emptysella.htm Its just a thought. But look into it and always talk to your doctor about things that seem out of the normal with your body.
