I handle my anxiety as much as I can, as I know we all do, but when I am left alone in the house at night I have a harder time calming down. I wake up two hours after I fall asleep every night without fail, with some sensation/symptom that makes me panic. But if I had to call the ambulance I wouldn't know how to describe the feelings. I just feel like I will pass out any second and I am terrified. It's mostly my thoughts running wild but then I become super aware of anything g in my body like a tight spot on my scalp, face tingling, numbness behind the ear, pain in one temple, and I feel like I need help. Ambulances deal with real emergencies so I don't want to waste their time but what happens if I am really freaking out? I don't know if it's ok to call the hospital and say "I feel like something bad is about to happen!" I just get this thought in my head that I will black out and it's so subtle as I don't feel dizzy or particularly sick. I just feel like it will come upon me and my thoughts start racing and I picture the ambulance coming and them not being able to calm me down. This is all anxiety, right? And surely it's not the best thing to call the ambulance?
