Good morning everyone
I’m having a Terrible time at the moment with sleep issues. I’m super anxious and feel in a constant state of panic. I’ve started on 2 pumps of estrogel, some beta blockers and having CBT.
Over the last week I’ve had about 2 hours sleep a night. Just as I’m dropping off I wake up with a jolt. Sometimes it feels like it’s in my head, sometimes my throat and I repeatedly swallow and sometimes my stomach feels like it’s dropping.
This then leads to total panic and then I’m scared of falling asleep.
I’ve googled it and Hypnic jerks come up but that says a falling sensation and it’s not really that but a weird head sensation. I’m now worried about nocturnal seizures
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? It’s so scary. And I dread bedtime
Thank you x
