Does anyone ever wake up with a weird head sensation in the middle of the night?

It’s kind of hard to describe but it’s like waking up with anxiety for a brief moment. But it’s just a weird feeling. I woke up twice last night where it just felt like I was getting but I couldn’t swallow right, which put me in a panic. Plus it’s like my head felt weird as I was getting up. Almost as if it was tense while getting up. It didn’t hurt but it just felt like my head was in a weird place physically. It’s kind of like waking up, gasping for air. But its not too much of a focus on the breathing. It’s more of a focus on the head sensation.

Thank you for your response. I believe it is just a common symptom of anxiety, called brain zaps. They are harmless and I have dealt with them more in the past. It just feels like either some sensation runs through your head and sometimes throughout the body. I’ve been told that we can sometimes wake up from a jolt because our bodies are releasing stress. But I think what caused mine last night was thinking about my breathing and the way my head felt, which probably led to waking up with a bit of anxiety

Your welcome. Hopefully they will gonaway. I used to get the brain zaps on some medications scary so i wouldn't take them after that.

I got one when I was at work while walking around and had no idea what it was at the time. But later on I found and I was able to feel more relaxed....even though I would sometimes get them while sleeping Haha
