Am I anxious or is there something wrong?

Every time I try going to sleep, since around 10pm, I feel like I’m holding my breath - involuntarily, that wakes me up with a jolt. Doesn’t help I’m having palpitations too.

Then when I am breathing I feel like it’s shallow and that I can’t get a good, deep breath in.

I’m on Propanalol and had one at around 7pm last night, it’s now 2:20 and I’m debating popping another. Idk. Does anyone else get this with their anxiety or is there something wrong with me. Trying not to freak out.

You’re fine. I’ve had this too back in 2013. I won’t get into the details, but don’t read intro it anymore and It will eventually go away.

I have these on and off I suffer from Anxiety Disorder and Depression and I'll be so tired that I'll dose and as I'm dosing it feels as if I'm sinking into my bed and I can't feel my heart beating i feel like my head is falling off the bed but the rest of my body is still on the bed and then i can't feel myself breathing so I jerk awake and it happened for almost a week straight at night and during the day I feel like I'm outta place in a dream state and I don't feel real amd sometimes i have on and off dizzy spells but i figured it's because I stopped taking my Anxiety meds in December of 2018 because i ran out! And so my doc has prescribed me more i take Buspirone 7.5mg twice a day and I started feeling better and more up beat and dizzy spells has gone for now and I've been getting better sleep and able to fall to sleep at night but now it's back and it's happening early in the morning now that causes me to wake up super early making my anxiety act up and i happens about 20mins to a hour in a half before i get any good sleep sometimes i have to get up and walk around and then try to go back to bed!!!! Ur not alone sweetie
