So almost every night for the last few weeks I have been getting this very strange feeling. Right in my sternum, upper abdomen area, I have been getting this intense butterfly feeling. Almost like adreline is pumping into a ball in that spot. It gets 5x worse when I try to sleep and a bunch of crazy feelings follow it. Usually when I fall asleep, I'm awaken with that butterfly/adreline feeling traveling up my chest and neck causing me to breathe faster and my heart rate goes up momentarily. But tonight it has bene the worse experience yet. The feeling was even more intense and on top of that, I had problems with my vision and I was getting whole body tremors (after falling asleep and waking). My head felt weird and I literally felt like I couldn't breathe. I have a rescue inhaler that did nothing for the breathing issue. It was like there was no oxygen in the air. Now I know most of you probably think it's anxiety, but here's the thing: I've had panic attacks, anxiety issues for about a decade now and none of them has ever made me feel like this. None of them has caused these symptoms. Never in my life have I ever had these sensations all stars once. I went to the ER (of course the doctor dismissed it) so my next step is to see my primary physician. Has anyone else experienced any of this? If so, what was the diagnoses and treatment options?
Dear you said correct most people say its anxiety. You did not mention your age. You told you have anxiety from decade but no symptoms like these. Dear now your immune system is weak i think and anxiety attacks you with more power. But i m not a doctor. I think You much consult a psychologist that will better for you.
Definitely seek medical advice on this just to rule out any issues…anxiety takes on many different forms so it could still be down to that …Ive had anxiety off and on for years ..it’s worse in the winter when it’s cold and dark early as I find this depressing…I hope you get it sorted soon .
