Adrenaline rushes

[Shazza94x]

Hiya all,

So for the past couple of years on and off I've had bad anxiety and stress probably working in a call centre doesn't help.
Anyway as I try to fall asleep late evening and suddenly feel a rush of adrenaline which will last for an hour or so.
My mind will feel overwhelmed with thoughts and my body will shake/tremor and I get extremely hot. Then I find I pee every few minutes because I'm tense.

During the day if I'm stressed my hands will sweat alot. I am on propranolol tablets 40mg which helps the physical symptoms in some ways. I also take rescue remedy.

Just wondered if anyone else feels like this and what to do which helps? Thanks

Nighttime is generally the worse because our bodies are unwinding and we can't fight the thoughts or feelings.
i haven't had much success with sweaty hands that's just something i've accepted(and my partner too :roflmao:)
when it comes to bedtime i get in about an hour before i want to sleep so i try and unwind.
read a book, drink something warm/relaxing, meditate. try and think positively and lock the thoughts out x

Yeah night time is definitely worse throughout the day I can keep myself busy.
I want to learn how to fully relax on the evenings so I can fall asleep easily and wake up feeling better

Yeah, can definately relate to these adrenaline rushes (had one about an hour ago). I will be sat there chilling out, and I suddenly get an odd sensation in my head, like a brief tiredness/ dizziness for a split second. At this stage my whole body starts shaking and I feel lightheaded/ edgy. Just have to try and focus on breathing and keeping myself occupied, to get it to stop!
