It happened last night. It was horrible and now I'm scared to go to sleep.

I was just dosing and all of a sudden my whole body started to tingle and I couldn't breathe properly. My eyes went blurry and I had to wake my partner up. By the time he eventually woke, it had gone.

Madness.

i was afraid too sleep before, it was a week after an incident with alcohol. Maybe you can think about all the times that you did sleep nicely. there are several things that can help
- good sleeping hygiene
- excersise 4 hours before sleep
- taking a shower
- drink warm milk
- avoid exciting activity (read some books for example)

good luck

Thanks ever so much for your help. Last night I had to take a Kalm, which worked...but I don't want to have to do that all the time.
Bloody anxiety!!!!
