I know I write on here every min of everyday but. What is happening to me every single night I'm waking up dripping with sweat a fast heart rate and feeling as if my throats closing up. Then when I try go back to sleep the next thing you know I'm sweating badly again with a fast heart rate don't understand. This must be ever since I stopped taking my mirtizapine a couple days ago and went into certraline but why is it doing this to me? I don't get it. I'm so scared everyday I'm sick of this, does anyone know what it could be, I keep shaking aswell I'm covered in spots on my face!! I hardly ever get spots I'm getting so stressed out
You are having a panic atacks in the night..thats what happening it very scary but you will be ok. I dont know if it is connected but I started taking an SSRI Antidepressant 3 weeks ago and anxiety was worse for the first week but that went after a few days of taking it so maybe your anxiety is worse because of the tablets.
Ahh it's so horrible I'm always sweating at night with really fast heartbeat😔, yeah iv only been taking my new antidepessants 4 days now , I feel like my anxiety has got so much worse when iv started taking these. I hope ur ok x
Try cutting down the Sertraline to see if symptoms get better you may be allergic to it.
Thank God I'm not alone! Happens to me 4/5 nights a week thougt sometimes it serious phew
It's so scary ain't it! Do you get itðŸ˜
So scarey! I've cardio app for June n I do have irregular heartbeat so think it makes it worse I get myself worked up. I not on NY meds I'm battling thru wit deep breathing n 9 times out of ten it works eventually lol but like d others say I do believe its nocturnal panic attack the subcouncious mind is playing havoc that's my explanation??
Michelle can I ask you how old you are you could be having hot flashes if you're in menopause it can make your heart go fast and make you sweat a lot at night if you're not old enough to have menopause and you're starting a new medicationthen it's probably the new medication give it a couple weeks once you get over the hump you feel so much better every time they give me a new medication or or upped the dosage I go through my anxiety twice is bad butI always wait it out because I know once I get over that hump I'm going to feel real good. Also if you're getting off of a medication it's going to do that you have an adjustment period. Stay strong just know that panic attacks have never killed anyone I know I've had them for over 30 years and I'm still hereThe best thing I've learned to help them is to not be afraid of them laugh at them get mad at them can't be mad and scared at the same time I know it's hard to not be afraid but if you can truly truly not be afraid they will slowly stop coming. You have to sit there look at right in the eye whenever symptoms you're having and know in your heart it's not going to hurt you it won't as I said nobody has ever died from a panic as soon as you learn this The sooner you will be well takes time, hope this helps stay strong Renée Renée
Oh iv just woke up from a panic attack sweating really hot felt like I can't breath and my hearts going to give up . Ever since stopping my mirtizapine I feel so terrible. 😩. I'm scared all these symptoms are something serious all my head hurts my back everywhere in my body I can't take this its half 1 in the morning 😩. Feel like I'm going to die. Why can't I stop worrying about my health no matter what I do litterly ðŸ˜, I'm 19 am I dying
HI Michaela.
I've had sharp pains on my lungs before. Again, like others have recommanded get it checked up by a doctor if it lasts a couple of days. I've had a checkup for every weird sensation anxiety has given me.
I replied to another of your posts but the moderators edited my reply. I had put a link to a very helpful app I found and they erased that. Do you have a smart phone and can download apps? It's free and I really recommand it. It haelped me so much and it helped my racing thoughts and heart to go down to normal. (private message me if you want the link to the app, I guess I can't post it here)
Also please make sure you rest and eat a lot. You aren't helping your anxiety out if you don't have rest and food in your body.
Please stop convincing yourself there is somthing wrong with you. When I suffered from severe anxiety someone missdiagnosed me with anorexia. I didn't eat a thing that day because I was convinced anorexia didn't allow me to eat! I also didn't have strength to get up from my own bed that day because I thought anorexia had taken over my life. Please understand how silly this is and how it was all in my head because I was better the very next day when my doctor told me it was in fact anxiety.
Cheers and Take Care
