Hi there.
A new thing for me. Lately (over the last few weeks), I've been experiencing this weird sensation when I try to go to sleep, it's hard to explain, I feel like I lay down, close my eyes, drift into some sort of dream but at the same time I'm aware that I'm awake as I can feel my surroundings etc, and then suddenly I jolt fully awake, heart racing & feeling a bit dizzy. It's a really odd sensation. It definitely isn't sleep paralysis as I've had that in the past, this is a more blurred sort of line, so I'm dreaming, but at the same time, I'm not fully asleep & can still move body parts etc. Feels like an odd mental distorted line between being awake and being asleep, doesn't last long before I suddenly burst into full wakefulness and in a bit of a panic.
Does anyone else get this? Should I tell my Doctor or will he just say it's anxiety?
