This only happens at night when I am about to fall asleep. It’s between
that period where you are half asleep, yet still awake. It doesn’t happen during the day or if I take a nap on rare occasions. It feels like my heart is coming out of my throat or something. It is so weird and kinda hard to explain. It seriously sits me up out of bed making me freak out b/c it’s scary, it seriously makes me feel like I’m about to die. Sometimes it doesn’t feel like it’s my heart jumping out of my throat, but rather a big lump in my throat or something. I don’t know, it’s just weird to explain. I use to happen to me years ago maybe just a few times a month and then went away for years, but this past year, it seems like it happens every single night. I know I need to go to the doctor, but I was hoping until then someone may know something. The only thing I could think of is sleep apnea, but none of the symptoms fit me when I checked webmd. I was diagnosed with a heart murmer a few years back, but I don’t think that has anything to do with it.
I don’t think I have anxiety. I told a friend about this and that’s what he said. I just don’t understand what I would be anxious about when I’m lying in bed just chilled and relaxed and watching TV.
