In cases of excessive sweating, frequent dreams, and insomnia, there are generally two scenarios to consider. One is caused by the deficiency of both the heart and spleen. In this condition, sweating is usually more excessive, as it can intensify after activities or meals and may also be accompanied by symptoms such as irritability and insomnia. The other scenario is due to kidney yin deficiency, where insufficient yin leads to excessive yang, resulting in insomnia, many dreams, and night sweats. In this type of sweating, it is generally profuse during sleep, but stops upon waking. This may also be accompanied by symptoms such as lower back soreness and tinnitus. It is recommended to ensure adequate rest regularly, avoid excessive fatigue, and not to be under too much stress.

How to regulate rapid heartbeat and insomnia?

If increased heart rate and insomnia are not due to cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, or thyroid disease, consider a diagnosis of cardiovascular neurosis. Patients with cardiovascular neurosis often present with numerous and variable complaints, lacking an intrinsic connection between symptoms. Common symptoms include palpitations, a heightened sense of heartbeat, chest tightness, labored breathing, a frequent feeling of insufficient air requiring opening windows or needing oxygen, accompanied by insomnia, vivid dreams, anxiety, loss of appetite, dizziness, tinnitus, sweating, cold hands and feet, and trembling hands. Treatment primarily involves psychotherapy, with medication as a secondary approach. Patients are encouraged to adjust their attitudes, organize their schedules properly, and engage in cultural, tourism, and sports activities. In cases of severe insomnia, the cautious use of drugs like midazolam or zopiclone may be considered. (The use of medications should be under the guidance of a physician)

What are the reasons for insomnia, hand tremors, and palpitations?

If a patient frequently experiences insomnia, trembling hands, and palpitations, it is possible that these symptoms are caused by myocardial ischemia. It is recommended that the patient actively undergo treatment using medications that dilate blood vessels and improve circulation, and firstly, coronary heart disease should be ruled out. If a person has long-term sleep disorders, they can also develop a certain level of anxiety, which in turn can lead to insufficient coronary artery blood supply and thus myocardial ischemia. This condition can also manifest as palpitations and trembling hands. Another scenario is hypoglycemia. If blood sugar levels are too low, symptoms such as palpitations, chest tightness, and trembling hands can occur, typically at night. For such cases, it is also necessary to promptly monitor the patient's heart rate, blood pressure, and pulse changes, and the diet should primarily consist of high-quality protein.

Can excessive dampness cause insomnia?

If excessive dampness is present, it can generally cause insomnia and other adverse reactions, such as numbness throughout the body, general weakness, memory decline, and poor gastrointestinal digestion, which can all lead to symptoms. Therefore, it is first necessary to help expel the dampness to achieve effective improvement. For instance, regularly consuming foods like Chinese yam, barley, dates, and red beans can greatly aid in expelling dampness and improving symptoms. It is also important to engage in regular physical activities, which can help expel dampness. Additionally, methods like steam sauna, warm water foot baths, and cupping can also help expel dampness and alleviate symptoms.
