Please help, how do you manage panic in the night. I was feeling a bit better last night and went to sleep ok as I took an anti sickness tablet for my nausea. Then I woke up with pains in my tummy and that started my panic. I was getting niggling sharp pains in my lower tummy, felt sick and had dull ache in my tummy.
Of course this started my head spinning into what it might be.
I tried hard to control it with some deep slow breathing, it helped a bit but I was still scared. I feel unwell with it, headache etc, it feels similar to when I had Campylobacter but it can't be that again surely. Has anyone had this or can you relate to the symptoms and what it might be?

I'm now worried about it happening again tonight, does anyone have advice or suggestions please?

I use mindfulness meditations (theres plenty of free ones around. I like the mountain cabin on in relaxation on 7cups).

takes some practice and sometimes the last thing you wanna do but it works (for me)
