Over the past two or three days, every time Ive tried to sleep, Ive woken up between a half hour to two hours later with an above average heart rate, nausea, and sometimes shaking. It almost feels like a panic attack, despite not being under much stress lately, and its really impacting my ability to get a restful nights sleep, especially since part of me is almost nervous to go to bed knowing it may happen again.
Hello and thanks for writing. I can understand your concern and would try to help you in the best possible way. Your symptoms may be related to hypoglycemia i.e. Fall in blood glucose. I suggest that you measure your glucose level when such an episode happens. If your sugars are normal then it is probably due to anxiety or panic attacks. I would suggest that if you are distressed about it, it's best to consult a doctor. He may be able to get a full medical history and run some tests to get to the root of your problem and make a management plan for you.
