Why does my heart beat faster and keep me from sleeping as soon as I close my eyes, and what should I do about it?

Increased heart rate and difficulty sleeping when closing the eyes may be caused by factors such as diet, hypertension, or angina pectoris. These symptoms can be improved through general treatments, medication, or surgery. Specific analyses are as follows:

1. Dietary factors

Consuming excessive caffeine, sugar, high-fat, and high-cholesterol foods may lead to an accelerated heartbeat. Such foods may stimulate the cardiac nervous system, resulting in increased heart rate and sleep difficulties. It is important to maintain a healthy diet and avoid consuming stimulating beverages before bedtime.

2. Hypertension

Hypertension increases the workload on the heart, causing it to beat faster, and also affects sleep quality, leading to difficulty falling asleep. Patients may take medications such as metoprolol tartrate tablets or nifedipine tablets under medical guidance.

3. Angina pectoris

Angina can easily cause myocardial ischemia. When myocardial ischemia occurs, the heart requires more oxygen to maintain normal function, thus increasing heart rate and disrupting sleep. For patients with severe symptoms, coronary artery bypass graft surgery may be considered.

Besides the above causes, this condition may also result from pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, pericardial tumors, or other reasons. If symptoms are severe or persist for a long time, it is recommended to seek medical evaluation to identify the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
