As I drift off, I'll wake myself up either gasping for air or feel that I'm choking. It gets much worse if I haven't had much sleep for the past few nights.
Very common and no sleep only makes anxiety worse ;)
Very common, my partner who doesn't suffer from anxiety had it the other day! I have it all the time when I get into bed! Very normal, just flipping anxiety!!

Yes, had this one too! Not nice, but it will go.
Hi,
This is very common when dealing with anxiety.
Once the anxiety fades away it will pass.

I have had that for years. Everytime it feels as if I am going to chocke but of course it never happens. One time I walked out and went out for a walk as it was impossible to sleep. Strangely enough it is never there in the morning.

Used to get it a lot when my anxiety was at its worst, horrible feeling , but it will get better.

I agree. I too had it when my anxiety was at its worst but it got better. Now I only get it if really really tired. X
