Could it be anxiety

[just4mimi2002]

Anyone have body numbness all over and heart racing, sometimes wakes you up at night

[Trying1268]

Yes I have experienced these symptoms before.

They are symptoms of a panic attack. I know it seems weird to have a panic attack in your sleep but it can happen.

Having said that you could also be experiencing poor blood pressure/flow, so I would get a check up at your doctor's.

Just in case you are like me and are scared of medical things going wrong. Poor blood pressure/flow is not life threatening. Many people live years or their whole life and never notice.

It is most likely panic related though. Try some deep breathing techniques to help with circulation and to calm your mind.

Thank you so much for replying back, yes I am scared of things gone wrong also, I do have high blood pressure and take meds for that. But this body numbness and heart racing is the scariest thing ever, sometimes my body stays like that for hours and then goes away,

That’s very reassuring thank u

Hi- I have a friend who had the same experience. She consulted with her doctor and she was diagnosed with anxiety. She's taking medications to calm herself and she's doing better now.

Please check with your doctor. I hope you can get the help you need. Take care, God bless.

Thank you so much im so glad you told me that cause I thought I was going crazy, do you know what the doctor gave her and did her numbness go away

[FearIsALiar]

Yes. This is normal

[just4mimi2002 in reply to FearIsALiar]

Are you sure im not imagining it, did you have the same think, im sorry im just a mess all kind of things go through my head cause I never had this

[FearIsALiar in reply to just4mimi2002]

It’s okay! So anxiety does cause a lot of these symptoms. Have you been feeling anxious? What’s been bothering you?

[just4mimi2002 in reply to FearIsALiar]

Thats the problem I don't know of anything bothering me except I work on a covid unit and im stressed over that

[just4mimi2002 in reply to FearIsALiar]

So I want to the doctor who put me on anxiety meds but I'm scared to take them because I read the patient reviews and how they feel worse the first 2 weeks of taking them,

[FearIsALiar in reply to just4mimi2002]

It different for everyone!

[FearIsALiar in reply to just4mimi2002]

I had the same thing before I get it when super drained/ anxious

[YK2UR]

Agreed with Trying1268 ,it most likely conditions of anxiety, but it's better to consult with doctor, dont worry everything will be alright.

[just4mimi2002 in reply to YK2UR]

Than you

Daily walk or jog or light execercise is good improve your sleep and curing such conditions

I haven't experienced this in my sleep. I sometimes wake up with this condensed feeling in the centre of my forehead.

I think this could be to do with my anxiety and depression as when it happens it usually coincides with me feeling low, grump and getting in a bad mood?

Other times I get headaches that progress to feeling hot/ sweating and feeling or being sick. They usually go away after I sleep it off.

Hi welcome!! I never experienced this unless I am having a panic attack!! Get checked by your doctor!! Panic attacks can seem like heart attacks. I’m sorry you experienced this. Reach out anytime!!!
