Woken Up and Heart Races Tremendously.

[Survivor_17_]

I have woken up a few times in my life feeling like I can't breathe almost and my heart is racing suuuuuper quick. Last night it happened again after I just fell asleep and my sister spouted off something about a lion and it woke me and I felt that fluttery heart that's pounding my chest as I try to sleep again but the heart pounding is too much strain on my chest so it took me a bit to forget about it and force myself to sleep. What is up with that? I'm pretty sure it has happened a maximum of 10 times in my life but every time I do wake up feeling that way I just wanna know what's happening. I do have asthma and suffer from anxiety. I don't always take my inhaler every night like I'm told to do by doctors. I have a 3 month supply of inhaler medication in my room because sometimes I have forgotten to take my inhaler and sometimes still do forget. Just telling you my current health issues and background sorta

It could just be anxiety, its just irrational fears and you're just panicking you know, hopefully you'll get better and hang in there 😊
