Panic while falling asleep
Post Content
Has anyone else had panic attacks that happen right as their falling asleep? I will be basically fully asleep then will jolt awake with my heart pounding and breathing heavy. It’s not sleep apnea, I’ve been tested for it, but it’s so scary and sometimes will happen multiple times a night causing me to not be able to fall asleep for hours. My doc said it’s my nervous system being too sensitive so when my breathing shifts from normal mode to sleep mode my brain freaks out and jolts me awake. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, any advice?
