Ok before I explain any of this, I have to tell all of you
I HAVE AN EXTREME PROBLEM WITH ANXIETY. Panic Attacks come often. I am 14 years old
Ok, at night, whenever I am REALLY tired, I am afraid to sleep because im afraid of my heart stopping, and I often gasp for breath and I get that burning feeling in my chest when I get freaked out, but then I recover quickly.(This happens a LOT more when I am on medication that makes me sleepy like Benedryl which is what I am on now) I ALWAYS wake up in the middle of the night(even before the anxiety attacks came)
My brother tells me that I talk in my sleep. And I screamed "Shut up" to him once lol. And I move a lot in my sleep, not thrashing around, but when i was little and I would sleep with my brother, my grandmother would often move me to my bed because I moved on top of my brother.
Do I have sleep apnea?
Because it seems like I have Sleep Apnea, but it ALSO seems like Anxiety.
Cuz it doesn’t feel like my airways are clogged, it feels as tho my hearts going to stop and I often check my pulse VERY often. But when I do get scared and anxious my throat feels tight(which is a VERY Common symptom of anxiety) I DONT snore.
And when I wake up I do get a minor throb in my head(Which is kinda common I hope lol) Not so much a headache, but like a tiny painful pulse in my head.
But im like afraid to sleep at night. I am NOT overweight. And when I calm down and get my mind off of it, it stops and I am able to get to sleep. Which usually happens at around 4-6 am lol.
What do you guys think? Do I have Sleep Apnea? Or a major case of anxiety lol.
I TOTALLY FORGOT A GIGANTIC PART OF THIS

I have PTS (Post Tramautic Stress) Because a while ago I had an event in which I almost died, and have been having anxiety since. I don’t remember really having problems with this BEFORE this event. (However when I was a little kid I always did have a small thing with looking up sicknesses online, oh you little hypochondriac you) and freaked myself out over it. However I always have woken up in the middle of the night, but I always sleep with the T.V. on and such so that may be it. But I haven’t started Masturbating till recently ,so I had a LOT of wet dreams, and typically when I have one, I wake up. I remember waking up wet almost every night. lol
