Hi hun,

May I ask what medication you are taking? Some medications can cause sleepiness. I know for me, my Klonopin makes me sleepy. Xanex used to make me sleepy too. I sometimes feel like my head is real heavy. My body feels awake, but my head is just so grogy that all I want to do is sleep.

The feeling of dying is from your panic. I used to get this real bad. When I was first put in the hospital, I didn't sleep for days thinking that I would die in my sleep. But, just remember this......it will pass. You will be okay. I know it feels like crap, but it won't harm you.

I know it's easier said than done, but that's the honest truth. Panic also causes chest pains too. I get them every now and then. It shoots down my arm and sometimes I feel short of breath.

I hope you feel better soon hun. Try to get some rest. Everything will be okay.

Chantel

A lot of medications cause drowsiness, fatigue or lethargy. But also it could just be the anxiety. I know when I have a bad panic attack I feel tired for 2-3 days afterwards. What medications are you refering to?

Start slow and don't be so hard on yourself. If you need to sleep, sleep!

Re: scared

when i was at the gym today, i could feel that my heart was beating very fast. nearly freaked me out.
also, i always have that feeling that i need to burp but i cannot burp it out. then i will panic cos i think that i m going to die...i have lots of problems and fears. i cannot get a bf too cos i think i worry too much that noone will be able to tolerate me.
shld i buy a heart rate monitor? i think i would freak out more.
