After waking up from a nightmare, feeling uneasy is normal. Your heart rate may increase quickly because your body thinks the danger is near. This reaction, though unsettling, typically subsides as you regain composure. However, if these occurrences persist frequently, discussing them with a psychiatrist would be advisable. Nightmares can sometimes reflect underlying concerns that require attention.
