i can't sleep at night. i always have anxiety lately. when i do lay down and fall asleep i wake up suddenly with anxiety like i can't breathe. usually i stay up really late or til it gets daylight sometimes before i finally go to sleep. i dont know if its night time or what. just wondering if anyone else here can't sleep at night and when u do don't sleep soundly and wake up trying to get air and with more anxietY? one day i woke up gasping for air and i went to er and they did an ekg and chest xray and all. and just told me i had anxiety and gerd. so it wasnt my heart but i still worry all the time. i think i also have sinus problems. can sinus problems cause anxiety?

I have problems sleeping too, and when i do i wake with awful anxiety, Your sinus problems may have triggered that i cant breathe feeling. I have no medical problems other than the anxiety and depression and i feel like i am suffocating constantly. I have good weeks and bad weeks but we get through them, try telling yourself that you dont really feel like it and distract yourself. As for the sleeping just sleep when you can. Good luck and hope you have a good day :D
