Hi, I would suggest checking your blood pressure on a daily basis and monitoring that. I had the same thing happen to me when my unknowingly my blood pressure was quite high. I take 100 mg of Aetenol, and still am confounded as to the state of my health after my Hysterectomy. My cholesterol went way up too! That Estrogen I had was very protective of these functions, and now I'm unprotected sort of speak, despite my taking hormonal supplementation. I'm on Crestor too, and it's working well, but didn't notice a correlation with my increased blood pressure. Do you get headaches at all? I used to get the worst headaches before I was treated for high blood pressure, and here I find out it was 'because' of my high blood pressure that I had these headaches. I never get them now. I had no idea that headaches can be caused my high blood pressure. Lastly, I would tell your dr about your heart racing and see what he or she says, but also monitor your blood pressure either at home with a store bought cuff, or at your dr's office. I hope it goes away soon for you. I hated that feeling! Take care..

Hi Flossie,
I have been taking Lunesta for 2 months now and have not had any problems with a racing heart. I do know that thyroid problems can occur with fibro and a racing heart can be a symptom. The best thing to do is run it by your doctor.
Good luck with this.

Lunesta has never bothered me I do suggest you go the Drs for this problem though it could be anxiety or panic attacks........Hugs to you i pray you get some answers.

Thanks for the replies! My blood pressure is ok so far. Many meds that are supposed to make me sleepy, make my heart race. I have been on Lunesta for 2 years with no problem....strange.

Hi

When I tried Lunesta I got the racing heart rate. I can't take that at all.

Have you tried trazadone? it is the only thing that I have ever taken that really works on me, it's gives me sleepy mode in which I need to go to sleep, just seems to relax me....Love...Helen
