Hi all,
Had a rather bad night last night. I was awoken at about 2am with a "heavy" type pain in my upper abdomen/chest. Throat felt tight and i felt like my lower chest area was being squeezed. I also felt my heart beat fast and loud in my head and i was feeling a bit breathless (although i checked and was able to take a full lung in).
This was all rather frightening but im thinking (hoping?) that it was an anxiety attack. I got up and walked around a bit, managed to get back to sleep.
I do suffer with reflux to some degree so popped some gaviscon.
Anyone have experiences similar with night time anxiety?
I should add ive also had some difficult family problems recently so ive been quite stressed out.
any help gratefully received!!:ohmy:
