Jolt awake right as im falling asleep?!


Question: Jolt awake right as im falling asleep?
This never really happened to me..but i was just trying to fall asleep..and I got this sensation like my heart skipped a beat which made me jolt awake. Right as im about to fall asleep I get kind of just jolted awake...what is this? Anything to worry about or should i just try to go to bed?

Answers:

have you been getting enough electrolytes? have you upped your caffeine intake? could be premature ventricular contractions (fairly common. i have them.) get checked out by a dr. just to make sure, but i used to get that a lot (right when i was going to sleep especially) when i wasn't getting enough potassium.

in the meantime, make sure to drink more water. try eating a banana a day... but really, go see a cardiologist to be on the safe side.



totally normal, it has its own proper name that i dont know. but if your heart is skipping a beat, that isnt good. it is more like a blunt stabbing feeling that makes you jump. It is normal, ignore it and go to sleep. iv had that feeling countless times
