Hi guys,
For a very long time now I have had a fear of sleepwalking and hurting myself or others (my big fear is throwing myself out of a window) when I'm home it doesn't worry me too much however when I stay away it becomes pretty unbearable.
I'm currently travelling around Austria for work staying in a variety of different towns and hotels every few days. With each new hotel comes a new potential threat! Such as am I going to be on a top floor? Will it be high enough to kill me if I sleepwalk out of it? To add to this today I have been prescribed Propranolol which I thought would might help my general anxiety/feelings of loneliness and dread I had been getting whilst out there. HOWEVER I've just read online (I know I shouldn't have Googled) that Beta Blockers can cause people to sleepwalk! Even those who have never done it before (like me, although I do sleep talk)
So now I have no idea what to do?! I've started taking the medication because I'm still at home for two more days and I'd like to test it out in a 'safer' environment first.
Does anyone else share this fear?!
