I have anxiety. My doctor upped my medication about 5 weeks ago. For the last 5 nights 3 of those nights I wake with racing heart. The first night I went to the ER bit of course after EKG and blood work they said it was a anxiety attack. This is really scaring me. I take the Xanax when this happenes. But I feel like I’m taking it to often. Especially during the day.
I just don’t understand why this keeps happening
This happens when in a heightened state of anxiety. I’ll wake up throughout the night with it. Get up or distract yourself in some way. I play games on my phone. Just tell yourself that this a physical reaction to the anxiety. Take deep controlled breaths until it calms down.
That's wat I do too lynsey....when I woke up with a panic attack I play games in my phone or find some relaxing music on YouTube....I listen to them and take deep breaths until I calm down....I do get scared sometimes but.....
