My anxiety is trying to kill me at night in my bed.

Hi

To continue my worry, I have a Fitbit and it records my heart rate.

Ive noticed that my heart rate when asleep gets down to 50 heart beats a minute. Is this low?

This just fuels my worry that my heart will stop.....

You really should get rid of the Fitbit! I've been having heart worries on and off these past months with my anxiety and I NEARLY ordered myself a Fitbit but then decided it may do more harm than good.

The past few days I've had a bit of a relapse and have had the feelings like my heart will stop if I go to sleep but logic tells me that is highly unlikely.

I also have strange sensations when falling asleep and these are worse when the anxiety is worse which makes it a bit of a vicious cycle as no sleep means worse anxiety which means no sleep and so on.

Take the Fitbit off!

Hi

I know I should get rid of it.

My HR was down to 47 last night......

But you are still alive! Maybe it's normal for our hearts to go really low when we sleep. It surely means your body is relaxed?

And maybe the device isn't completely accurate?

The Fitbit would do my head in I think. Definitely don;t wear it when you go to bed.
