Question Serious problem...need help please....

Hi ev1.... I have trouble sleeping because sometimes when I start to doze off I suddenly get jerked awake and my heart feels like it does flips or something. Then once in awhile when that happens I feel tremors in my body or like a buzzing feeling or something. Hard to describe but it is really strange. Doctor didn't find anything so I'm thinking I will have to see a specialist. I didn't get any sleep whatsoever this time and when I tried to sleep a little while ago I got jerked from my sleep again. Sometimes I will get to sleep sometimes I won't. Sometime's I don't get to sleep until 4 a.m.. Does anyone know what this could possibly be? Thanks!

Sometimes when the body goes into a relaxed state your muscles jump. I have a girl friend that does this even during her waking hours. She once was relaxing in a resturant with a cup of coffee in her hand...her muscle jumped and you guessed it...the coffee went flying, now she takes a sip and sets it down. Sorry don't know how to prevent it. I do know she never drinks enough water daily, very high cholesterol and has arthritis.

Omg! Hot coffee! That had to have hurt! lol....
Actually, my problem only happens when I start to doze off right at the very beginning and to be completely honest, I AM SCARED! I am so tired right now from no sleep and it's just a total mystery to me.
Thanks for replying

Oh yeah, by the way, sometimes when all that happens to me I feel like a really severe panic attack is going to happen but it goes away. And I will also feel kind of lightheaded or like I will pass out almost.

Sometime in your past did you have a fear of falling asleep? Some times people get this when they were pretty young, and it sticks with them. Try and relax, remember it's not going to kill you. Somewhere on the boards~~panic attacks/anxiety,maybe, there was a excersize to do when this panic feeling starts. It was breath in for 7 seconds,hold for 7, let it out for 7, hold for 7....keep doing this till it goes away. It takes practice too. Kinda hard to do at the beginning, just don't give up right away. The jumping is the body's way of relaxing, try drinking more water during the day and cut way down till you off the caffine an/or alcohol products. I know someone who gets panic attacks and she takes alittle sea/salt on the tip of the tongue when they happen. She's also on the watercure diet. 1/4 teas. of a min. seasalt mixed in a little water, for every quart of water taken in. No caffine, cut down slowly if you do have caffine daily. Gives you nasty headaches to just quit. Also calcium helps and so does magnesium, for muscles. Take it a 1/2 to an hour or so before bed time. That should help.
Do you have any blood pressure problems or adema(swelling)? If so go easy on the salt if swelling is present. Take care, Diana. Gets some rest girl, you deserve it!
