Fast heart rate and OCD

Nine years ago (I was 20 then) I started to pay attention to my heart beat as I went to sleep... as the months went on it started to get more noticeable (my mind probably attuned to it), and "louder", and eventually, faster

Eventually this started affecting my sleep.. resting I would experience heart rates around 80-90bpm. Sometimes my heart rate would stay elevated for hours at a time. I didn't seem or feel nervous, but my body did. A disconnect...

Nothing I do seems to help this. Not exercise or prescription drugs. I try to meditate to calm myself, but my mind can't focus. My mind just eventually slips back to concentrating on my racing heart. Has anyone else experienced this?
