Adrenalin rush

[countrygirl]

I posted a couple of days ago about a weird sensation when I go to bed starts about 5 mins after I lay down and i described it as a falling feeling without moving. Have had it before over the years so know its not sinister but very unpleasant.
It did it again last night and I think its an adrenalin rush as the sensation starts in my middle and shoots up to head - think if someone gives you a bad shock you get that awful feeling in your middle of the adrenalin rush and sinking feeling.
does anyone know what i mean - maybe they get it during the day. I have had it when very nervous during the day say before a medical proceedure or exam.

Hi country girl!
I often get this and its usually as i am drifting off to sleep after a particularly stressful day. The only explaination i can think is that my body is a bit shocked by the sudden feeling of relaxation after a period of high tension. It makes more sense to me than any other theory. Also, i know alot of people with anxiety who get this!! Hope this helps. xxx

Hi countrygirl
my son does this and is now staying up all night because he relates the feeling to sleep :huh:, but it also happens before he has a panic attack.

Hi Countrygirl.

Yes, I know the feeling well. Ugh! Occasionally I have had it repeatedly throughout the night. Just dozing off and then I get it or I wake up and get it. I put it down to overtiredness. It always seems to come when I kind of go beyond the too tired point and instead of drifting off smoothly I know I'm in for a night of this rotten stuff.

I know of people who also get it during the day.

Wishing you well
Rozie

Me too. It's pretty disturbing and am guessing all part of being anxious. Its not nice at all.
