HealthWhy You Wake Up with a Racing Heart on World Heart Day 2026
Waking up with a racing or pounding heart is a common symptom that can alarm many. Dr. Ashish Kumar explains it is important to distinguish whether the heart is truly beating fast or if one is just more aware of it in the quiet morning. Palpitations are symptoms, not diagnoses, and can be caused by stress, poor sleep, dehydration, alcohol, nicotine, medications, or the body's transition from sleep to wakefulness.
