AskHello doctor. I often get startled when I sleep. Just a small sound makes me startle, my heart beats fast, I have trouble breathing, I'm very sleepy but it's hard to fall back to sleep. Did the doctor tell me if I have a heart condition? I hope you can give me some advice, thanks.

Hello, listening to your description, maybe cardiovascular disease will be ranked after related diseases about your psychological and sleep problems. Our advice is that you should consult a psychologist - neurologist, they will help you sleep better, and if you have heart problems, you will be consulted for a combined examination. We hope that you will soon visit a doctor and consult to solve your problem.
