So here goes. I suffer from anxiety and i am pn a low dose of fluoxetine. Alot if my anxiety is health related and lately i have been waking during the night having these ‘episodes’ i basically feel terrified i have palpitations and feel like i cant swallow i feel like i am about today. I have read aboit nocturnal seizures and have convinced myself it could be this as my anxiety dowsnt seem noticable at all some days so i cant understand why it would be waking me. Can any1 tell me how i would no if it was a seizure? Xxx
My suggestion would be to talk to your doctor. I'm so sorry you're having this issue. I was waking for weeks in the middle of the night scared and fast heartbeat and just worried out of my mind. I convinced myself it was my medication. Doctor said it wasn't. I told her I stopped taking it one night and I didn't wake up like that. She reminded me on Friday that the medicine doesn't leave the system that fast. I thought i had it all figured out but I had no idea. I would definitely talk with your doctor.
More than likely they are anxiety attacks. Check with your doctor but I use to get those once in a while. Nocturnal attacks.
I think it could be to do with the meditation too. Its like a really overwhelming feeling i get like i cant breath. How long did ot last for you? Did anythn help xxx
Thankyou rob these ate every night at the min have you any tips on getting rid of them xxx
It lasted a few weeks. I can sleep now for the most part although some nights are hard. Like tonight. I posted a comment about my family history on another post and started thinking about it and now I'm having trouble sleeping. I hope you are able to get some rest.
I think your thinking to much about them. For sure see the doctor and they will probably give you a sedative for sleeping which will help.
Hi rob i have seen them already tgey just said it is panic attacks but didnt do any investigations. They told me to increase my propranolol xxx
