Need help on this please.... - Heart Disorders Message Board

Hi ev1.... I have trouble sleeping because sometimes when I start to doze off I suddenly get jerked awake and my heart feels like it does flips or something. Then once in awhile when that happens I feel tremors in my body or like a buzzing feeling or something. Hard to describe but it is really strange. Doctor didn't find anything so I'm thinking I will have to see a specialist. I didn't get any sleep whatsoever this time and when I tried to sleep a little while ago I got jerked from my sleep again. Sometimes I will get to sleep sometimes I won't. Sometime's I don't get to sleep until 4 a.m.. Does anyone know what this could possibly be? Thanks!

Sleep apnea?

Hi and thanks for replying. As for the first reply, I am able to wake up right away but when I do, I have a very hard time getting back to sleep and sometimes it keeps happening. For the second reply, no, I don't think it's sleep apnea. I looked that up and don't have most of the symptoms. Thanks again for replying!
