Hi,
I am really struggling with the anxiety. I have started taking meds about 2 weeks ago and I have surges of anxiety. Last weekend was horrific. Since then, my panic has subsided a little bit I am worrying/anxious all day long. I am shattered. Tonight, as I am snoozing on the sofa, I keep waking up in a panic. My legs have jelly dread feeling, I get pins and needles, chest feeling like it is squeezing and I am totally panicked, like the feeling I am falling or dying. Literally every time I start to drop off.
When I wake, often my stomach is so knotted from anxiety at night, and my ribs ache from tensed muscles. I have talked to GP about this but not the waking up bit, since I figured it was the meds and will calm down.
I am now freaking out and don’t want to sleep in case I die. I am shattered though and I can’t cope. My chest is so tight at the mo, I am sure it is anxiety but I worry it is something deadly.
Help!!
