So for some reason tonight I couldn't sleep....been up all night on my phone.... playing games trying to get some ease of mind....at exact 3:00i decided to go lay down,I was there dosed off a bit...at 3:50 I don't know what wake me up but when I get up I was shaking(trembling) as if I just got a terrible fright,my heart was pounding so hard I thought it would just stop, my body felt numb n lifeless, I felt like it was the end of my life...I felt like I was dying,I went in the kitchen for a glass of water n I drank it n tried taking some deep breaths....my heart is now beating at normal rate but I'm scared to go to sleep, my head feels as if it's wrapped very tight...n I'm stuffed up...I did an ECG less than a week ago n my heart was perfect....but I'm so scared....can anyone tell if this was a panic attack or should I go back to the ER about this....
You must start medication
This does sound like a panic attack. I have been getting these often. I started them in my twenties (when my anxiety started), The timing sounds like cortisol levels. Stress, anxiety throw our whole systems out of whack. I wish I could tell you a magic cure, but there isn’t one. If your ECG was normal, I’d bet this was anxiety. In my opinion, morning anxiety is the worst and hardest to get rid of.
If you need anything, I am around.
Also, medication can definitely help. Finding the right one can be a challenge, but when you do, it’ll be great.
Thank u
Yes its trail and errors
