Hi, I'm hoping someone is able to offer some help and to put my mind at ease and hopefully I'm not the only one who has experienced this.
For the past couple of weeks I seem to get frequent jolts as I'm drifting off to sleep. Sometimes it feels like I'm falling but other times I just jolt. I've noticed that my brain fills with random thoughts that sometimes mean no sense when I'm just drifting off, just before this happens.
I stupidly googled, which has only amplified things, to be faced with things relating to brain tumours and MS. Obviously this has been on my mind today.
Earlier I was reading a book in bed and kept focussing on my legs and to see if they would twitch or jolt. When I got up out of bed they felt a little weak and still do. I'm not sure if this is just as a result of me focussing in on this.
I have also been on propranolol for the past 2 weeks to help with my anxiety which had peaked. Before starting propranolol I felt somewhat detached from myself, like I wasn't me and I was so focussed on everything I was doing. Nothing felt normal to me and my surroindings were strange. After googling that symptom again tumours etc appeared. I spoke to my Doctor about my concerns before going on propranolol but now I am starting to think with the jolts that something may be wrong. I keep thinking about this and am thinking horrible irrational thoughts.
Has anyone ever had these jolts before and can offer some support?
Thank you and sorry for the long post...
