Hi all! Not going to get into all the panic/anxiety stuff today. You know how it feels. I know how it feels. We are all suffering from some degree or another..some days worse than others. We can maybe talk about all that another time. I just had a quick question for something strange that happens to me when I take a nap. When I take a nap, weather it be for 10 minutes or and hour...when I wake up I feel fine. But as I lay there for maybe 30 seconds to a minute...my heart will start to beat really really hard. I can feel it even in my stomach, my legs. And it feels almost like this weird, tense, fluttery feeling. It is kinda hard to explain exactly, but it usually only lasts a few minutes. Afterwards I usually feel terrible though. Achey and drained. And brain fogginess. I had a heart scan and ekg's and my heart is fine. Also, this never happened after a full night of sleep. Ever. Only after naps. I've been told that maybe it is from a nightmare or something...but I would think I would wake up with my heart pounding immediatly. Also, I sometimes can remember what I was dreaming about before I wake up and it is not nightmares. What significants(sp?) do you think this has to anxiety and also to the fact that it is ONLY when taking naps and not with a full nights sleep? Any one else have this??
