Hello, thank you for your enquiry.
We understand that your heart beat was fast when you wake up from sleep since 2 weeks ago. We will try to help you.
For your information, if your heart beat was fast when you wake up from sleep, it may due to nightmares, stress, anxiety, emotional problems, taking too much caffeine at night (such as tea or coffee) or poor sleep quality.
However, if you also having rapid heart beats during days, it may due to other factors. For example, dehydration, anemia, hypertension or hypotension, diabetes mellitus or hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level), infections, hormonal imbalance, ischemic heart diseases, lungs diseases and side effect of some medications. We suggest you to consult a doctor if this happen .
