Hello all, first post here.
First of all, I undoubtedly do have health anxiety. I've been to the doctor and had holter monitor, blood tests, CT scans, all turned out to be completely normal. However, recently I've been having a very different issue and it's scaring me.
A few days ago I woke up feeling good and drifted back to sleep, only to wake up a few minutes later with a strange electrical feeling starting in my head and radiating down into my neck. It happened a few times until I gave up trying to go back to sleep. It's a very real and strong sensation.
I went to my GP and after doing some physical tests, he said I appear to be in good health neurologically.
So it happened again this morning. I was dreaming normally and all of a sudden, mid-dream, I woke up feeling lightheaded like I was going to pass out. I couldn't feel my heart beating so I rolled over and checked my pulse, at which point my heart started beating faster and I could finally feel it.
I called and made an appointment with a sleep center, appointment is Thursday. I'm hoping I can wait that long because I'm afraid of dying in my sleep =/
