Freaking out over these symptoms. Anyone?

Ever get this or have an idea of what it is? Last night when trying to go to sleep I would get like zaps of hotness and theny heart would race. I sat up and calmed down for a second and my heart rate went back to normal. I tried laying down again and I would get the jolt of hotness and the racing heart again. Sat up and used the restroom. The heart rate was normal. This happened for a couple of hours until I fell asleep. I've had several EKGs all normal. Had an Echocardiogram two weeks ago. It was normal. Any ideas?

    If the ekg and echo is normal, you shouldn't be having these conditions. I'd talk to your primary care physician or maybe a cardiologist if you can get referred but it sounds like bouts of anxiety, exasperated by worry that it'll happen again if you lay down. Talk a couple of deep breaths and try to relax. You can also try putting on some calming music and try to separate yourself from thoughts of the bouts of hotness. It may also be menopause symptoms if you are nearing that age (and if you're female obviously )
