Hi im new to this site and I have suffered on and off with health anxiety for around 3+ years now. Im fullt time mum to 6 children and am 10wks pregnant with number 7. I was on meds when I first became anxious 4 years ago and was on lustral for 18mtjs ..came off it and was fine..no episodes. After 12 previous mths of stress and a bad birth experience 15 mths ago im now anxious again and having attacks. Even had paramedics out 3 nights ago! Anyway I woke up this morning 6am and all of a sudden felt weird...hands clammy..shaking..heart racing at 130 bpm. So I then tried to calm myself down with breathing and still found myself panicking. Chest still feels heavy now..I feel sick and am on antibiotics for a UTI. Only started taking them last night..first dose!! Why have I woke up like this..is it anxiety or something else..id be grateful for anyones support and advice and im still shaking now n dont feel great but the kids r now awake...help!!!
