I previously thought my sleeplessness might be coming from PTSD from my recent housefire and my burns, but i think it might have to do with something that happened at the doctor.
Ever since i was in middle school, i had horrible insomnia regarding my heart and if i was gonna have a heart attack. I used to go to the school nurse every day, and get her to check my heart rate, until it became too annoying for her and she had to call my parents.
Basically every night i would wake up after a little bit to check my pulse and hope i would still be ok, and i got less and less sleep.
When i went to the doctor for my burns and they did a mandatory heart rate check, i was nervous as usual, and the doctor said my heart rate was extremely high. I know that this was most likely because of my anxiety, but i couldnt help but think otherwise. It was ever since that doctors visit that my sleep has been slowly deteriorating. For the past couple of days now ive only gotten 2 hours of sleep. I think its getting worse, and i can feel my heartbeat whenever i wake up, and i cant fall back asleep.
I'm so afraid that this is going to cause my health to deteriorate, i don't want to spend hundreds of dollars to see a doctor, and my therapist is on vacation right now. I don't know what to do and I just want to be able to sleep again. I hate being tired all day...
