Horrible feeling last night!

I’d been to my friends for most of the day sitting in her garden etc, she dropped me home and I made a drink and went to bed. I was just lying there listening to a meditation and didn’t feel right and when I sat up I felt all woozy/lightheaded/dizzy, I went to move off the bed and felt off balance because of it, so laid back down again but it really bothered me. I tried to calm myself had trouble going to sleep because it was on my mind but fell asleep eventually. Consequently when I woke up earlier I felt anxious and unsure of myself, and for the first time in quite a few days I felt nauseous to the point I thought I was going to be sick but I wasn’t. I’ve been eating fine, and drinking enough water through the day. Has Anyone else experienced this please?

Hi Sam,

I think sometimes when are out and seem to be having a nice time for a change. Unconsciously we maybe holding it altogether.

So when you get home and you relax a bit more, that's when these feelings come.

It's like you've held on all day, may be muscular tension or sheer control, and then you get home and you feel dizzy or odd, those kind of feelings you can't explain, it's like kinda of coming down from holding on tight all day... Even though you might have felt OK while you were out.

I haven't explained myself very well, but hope you can understand what I am trying to say xx

Hi Jen, yes you have actually explained it because I had a couple of moments when I was at her house and tried hard to dismiss it, it was a bit of an inner battle, but it wore off just before she brought me home but i think you’re right, I was trying to hold it together

Thank you. Not too bad now, it shook me up a bit though not had off balance feeling before, still a bit of nausea there at the moment

I think you have explained it perfectly. It certainly has made me understand it more. I hope it helps OP. 😊

Hi Sam

Sorry to hear that.

I find that if I fall asleep in the day when I wake I feel anxious and disoriented. Not sure if that is similar.

Glad you have been feeling good generally. I had a great weekend which I did a post about on our boat. That has made me start to feel alot better because unusually for me I had a few bad days last week. Still did things as usual, but just got worn down by the chest feeling I get.

Hope you have a good day today, what are you doing?
