I'm not sure where to post this but since I'm a long time health anxiety sufferer I'll put it here.
Last night I woke up after about an hour or two of sleep feeling dizzy, like I was going to pass out and with a rapid heart rate. My first inclination is to go to the kitchen to get something to drink. After about a minute or two everything is back to normal. I was able to go back to sleep with out this happening again. This isn't the first time I've had this episode. I can recall it happening about every other night about a year ago for what seemed to be a couple or few weeks and maybe sporadically after. This was at the height of my health anxiety. It was weird that this happened again out of the blue. I went to sleep fine, not stressed or worried about anything. So I don't know what could have caused this. I can't recall dreaming about anything to put me into distress. Could I have a had a panic attack in my sleep? It's just the dizziness that really freaks me out. Does anybody else here have this happen to them or have had similar sensations?
