Do you remember your last dream? The early morning ones are usually the ones remembered. I wake from nightmares sometimes in a panic mode.

No don't remember any dream and I normally remember around 3/4 dreams/nightmares. I think it's possibly me panicking over how hot I was which woke me up.

Yesterday I was decorating and didn't drink much at all so I could be quite dehydrated.

My heart rate when I first woke was 63 then shit up to 137 now it's 71 so think it's starting to go, but sometimes it backs off then peaks again.

Under the care of cardiologist?

No why do you ask? I was but it was for ectopic beats

Now it's starting to peak but had a thought in my head that my throat feels dry and might close up it's not though just nausea

Asked because you have the equipment to take your blood pressure and thought you might need to have your cardiologist check on you. Hope rest of day is better for you.

I have a Samsung phone which checks my heart rate those were my heart rate readings. Shouldn't use it because when it's up I panic a bit more.

You too

Same thing happens to me. I get hot and then it wakes me up and I start to panic and start to sweat and my heart is racing. I can’t stand having this at night, I wish I could just sleep straight through. It’s usually around 3 or 4 when it happens. Sorry to hear you have to same thing. I hope it gets better for us.

I have had it a few times not so bad like this though. It's crazy I've been watching some videos about dealing with anxiety and there's some great videos to watch and listen to on YouTube

And I've just managed to drift off not fully but totally relaxed listening to this on YouTube

Hope these help you.

This can get better for us we just need to try I know it's hard extremely hard but just try to embrace it instead of been scared of it.

Thank you jjb1983
