does anyone else get woken up by a sicky anxious feeling? heart beating fast, anxious feeling in chest, sick feeling etc ive been on sertraline for about a month now, could it be a side effect? scared :(
I wake up most mornings feeling shaky, sick, heart pounding. its morning anxiety, quite common. I’m also on sertraline, nearly 4 weeks and only just starting to see a difference in myself.
it scares me so much, i start to convince myself that there is something seriously wrong with me:( i have health anxiety too so it doesnt help:(
Yes, l have nausea most mornings. This morning l woke at 4.30 and felt nauseous. Have tried sertraline but am coming off it slowly.

you’re not alone, I’m exactly the same. I think you would have bruising and more symptoms by now after 4 months. I have pains everywhere, back, neck, chest, jaw, arms, shoulders, legs, literally everywhere all different pains and sensations. its very scary what anxiety can cause.
thank you for your support! its very hard to go thru the days like this! my main concern always been the heart and after all kinds of test never found a diagnosis and just say anxiety ! i have all kinds of symptoms cardiac like -and not ! recently im stuck with the idea that i have a clot in the leg that they are missing !
it’s like reading about myself Haha. I’m the same! my main issue was about clots, I still think it now sometimes, but now it’s based on my heart! I’ve even had a cardiologist do an ecg and listen to my heart, everything is normal all the time yet I freak the moment I get pains. you’re not alone x
My anxiety is always the worst in the mornings. I have a bottomless pit feeling in my stomach and have absolute no appetite. I shake frequently and get sweaty palms. My heart will also suddenly jump up quite a lot and will beat very quick for maybe half a minute before slowly going back to normal, but it beats much more vigorously and my stomach actually ripples with each heart beat.
I have issues sitting still and I am always feeling like a coiled spring ready to burst and I have quite severe breakdowns where I spend a lot of the time in the house crying because of the fact I receive next to no support from my psychiatrist, and the CPN nurse can only tell me that “It’s one of those things.” when I open up about the issue I face daily. I feel like I am getting absolutely nowhere with this and as someone with self-confidence issues, I find a lot of the time I cannot even open my mouth to these people because I am so scared of them scolding me or dropping me from their care.
I stopped all medication for around 6-7 months and my anxiety symptoms came on due to me recklessly taking a recreational drug during a time I felt I was on top of the world and nothing could hurt me. I have discussed the potential for ADHD as I had a lot of the childhood symptoms but my psychiatrist refuses to even delve into it and hasn’t asked me any questions about it and tells me they “think” I don’t have ADHD. They are more focused on the fact I drink Pepsi Max and smoke the occasional joint more so than these issues that have plagued me since early childhood.
With this coronavirus I can’t just go anywhere and speak face-to-face with my aunt and mom there. Everything is over the phone and I am awful at talking over the phone due to quite severe tinnitus and thoughts racing so fast I just lose what I am going to say and end up saying the first thing that comes to my head that’s of any relevance to mental health, often red herrings.
Trust me, the anxiety in the morning is very common and some days I do have it travel through into the evening and night, but generally for me it lifts come evening time and I actually experience some hypomania during the nights. I end up dancing around and doing stupid stuff as I am unable to sit still.
Same here been having stomach issuemy whole body stiff my head feels funny i just feel like im not my normal self its like i cant focus like there something wrong with me i am just worried im going to be like this forever .
One of my biggest fears is that I will face this anxiety and other debilitating issues forever as I just think my psychiatrist doesnt want to help me and is just throwing an SSRI at me after 3 others have done nothing for me but make everything worse.
I have just turned 21 and I am back to where I was in 2017 when I had a severe breakdown as I couldnt cope with the expectations of University and I cant hold down a job because after the first week or so I just lose all motivation to continue and go in and end up wanting to do something completely different. I am unable to focus myself and put my brain to any good use. I feel like when my family pass away I will have no one to speak for me and the psychiatrist that I see once every 3 month is just going to keep trying SSRI after SSRI when in reality I think I suffer with ADHD that was masked due to me being bullied into seclusion.
Just remember a lot of the worst feelings are caused by things such as anxiety and it feeds on the unknown. I hope you find someone who will give you the best care there is and will put you on the right path. There is a path for everyone.
Take care and I wish you all the best Shabana 
im speaking to thearapist its only been a week .lets see if it works.ive never experience .and it all started taking antibiotics then my stomach went funny ever since then im just worried for everything i dont how im going to work tommorow without feeling so weird .message me if you want to talk it help
That weird feeling for me is all too familiar but it doesnt stop it from feeling any less weird each time.
For me personally its a knot in my stomach and it causes me a great deal of anxiety and restlessness. Sadly SSRIs havent really worked for me in the past but that doesnt mean that they do not work for people. I know people personally who have done amazing on them and it really helped them recover from what they were experiencing.
Therapists are definitely helpful they can help you understand why you are in the way you are and rationalise these thoughts. I can understand the worry about everything as any thoughts I get just give me anxiety and sometimes I think its the fear of forgetting what I was thinking about that makes me worse.
Keep fighting for yourself! We will get back to normal in our own ways!
