hi all,is there a relationship between SLEEP DISTURBANCE & STOMACH/MENTAL PROBLEMS. iam having a serious problem with sleep disturbance... just when iam dozzing off, i get a mental palpitation (like heart palpitation, there is some vibration going on in the brain), soon after this i get heart palpitation/angina.... at this point my sleep is totally gone . can anyone tell me what this problem is all about. this has been happening for the past two months almost 3 to 4 times a week. as a result i started getting an eye sag (slight swell under the eyes). Iam told that I have gastritis & slight BP. Iam taking 5mg bisoprolol fumarate pill for BP at night. Master Health Checkup - all parameters seemed OK. iam 46 year old male. can anyone help me to solve my problem...thanks..

Hi there Aravinds,

Have you ever suffered from sleep apnea? It's worth looking it up as this may be the cause.

What I am wondering is why you're on an IBS section of this forum?
Do you suffer from angina? Stomach problems can cause disturbances in your sleep like any problem, so if you wake up in the night with stomach cramping it is the most likely cause of it. Sleep apnea can cause you to be breathless when you wake up and cause palpitations of the heart, but not the brain..

When you say brain palpitations.. this could be just you tensing or flexing the muscles of the brain.. are you sure you're not straining when you're trying to sleep.. as this maye cause your muscles in your head and scalp to contract causing tension. This might also bring on prolonged headaches and anxiety problems which can be linked to stress.

Please get back to me on this, I am very interested to hear what you have to say in answer to these questions, thanks.

Regards,

This is exactly like me for the last 4 years! Horrible stomach problems waking up at exactly 3:21 AM every night! Cant sleep until
right before my alarm sets off at 7:00 AM! I have terrible brain fatigue for not having more than 3 hour sleep a night. I am barely functioning and I am an engineer. I am taking some fibre laxatives that appear to help but not enough please let me know what they find!
