I only have heart palpitations if i have too much caffeine but ive cut way back on that (used to be addicted to energy drinks etc) and only drink coffee or tea. I almost never have insomnia and fall asleep sooner than I want to most nights. Ive been exhausted from work and i do my rtrs and then other meditations and tend to fall asleep before finishing all of them unfortunately. I think my heart beats faster when im stressed out.
No slurring words or speech problems.
My tongue feels fine.
Occasionally when i laugh i feel pressure in my head and i feel really stressed out.
Thank you for your time. I appreciate you trying to help me.

The kidneys regulate the heart, so this explains why when you either take caffeine or experience work stress, that you get palpitations or other heart symptoms like laughing.
Another possible cause of heart problems is if there is a blood deficiency. Women are prone to this due to menstruation, although anyone who is a vata type is also prone.
You could try ashwaganda. It may or may not be perfect for your situation. It is an oily herb that sedates the body. It calms the heart, and helps with stress. Therefore it may help your body deal with the stress while simultaneously calming the heart a bit.
If the issue is due to blood deficiency, for example, of course this would still be affecting the heart, but this will help in a separate way.
