they took my blood pressure a couple weeks ago when i was at the doctor for my carpal tunnel problems, and everything was normal then, so i don't think it is that.

but who knows.

I don't know why you being conscious of it would in anyway make it a health issue. Not, that you thought it was. I am sure it is in your head. Now, trying to become unconscious of it, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe breathing exercises when you are going to bed. I know this would seem to make you concentrate on it even more, but it might relax you as well. You might also be able to do Progressive Muscle Relaxation (I think that is what it is called) while you are trying to sleep.
