Waking up with racing heart
Over the past few months I have been waking up throughout the night with a racing heart, at once or twice a night, sometimes three or more. I have found that lowering my pressure seems to help, but if I go too low, I get more Clear Airways and/or Hypopneas.
As mentioned in another post recently, I am hoping to get a new study, but it will be later this year at the earliest.
I am sharing some of these from events last night.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Here's a wider view, including a similar issue around 2:38am.

Have you ruled out palpitations/arrythmia? I had that for a few weeks and it went away. The doctor gave me a gadget to wear that tracked it, my heartbeat would slow to 30 bpm at times and then race to catch up. No reason was found, but if it reoccurs I may need to see a cardiologist. I recommend letting your main doctor know.

I have an appointment in a few weeks and will discuss with him. The tracker isn’t showing anything abnormal but I know it’s not a medical device!
Thanks!

Yeah, I had a memory device, detector, and trigger button on one chest sticker.

Thank you for the advice. I’m glad to hear yours was short lived!

Yes, I hope so, for most it's not a big worry but YMMV. Mainly annoying.

Bumping this thread to see if anyone can help me figure out what's going on at these times.
Thank you!

Here is one from last night that woke me up and my heart rate was about 15+ higher than the nightly average.
