Anyone had sleep probs like shaking or fast breathing?

planes12

I sometimes go to bed shaking and worried about things. I think i am just scared of being alone as i don't relaly have friends around or a girlfriend.

I dont have breathing probs in the day when around people but soon as i go to bed i seem to start breathing fast on occassions at least.

Has anyone ever had this problem? :confused:

I often worry/think about things before I go to sleep too (although I don't start shaking or breathing faster). You could try relaxing and taking your mind off things that you may be worried about. Maybe read a book just before you go to bed and try writing your worries down before bed so you are 'getting them off your chest'

Hope that helps :smile:

I did read in a forum that shaking is because of a fear of dieing. I dont know i guess i am just needing someone to be with i guess

Sounds like your having anxiety attacks or something. Just remember before you go to sleep everything you want to be achieved can be done so in the next day, each day is new and fresh.

Sorry, it wasn't very clear :smile:

Just make sure you wind down before you go to bed so you're more relaxed and less likely to worry about things :smile:

Yes, I quite often cant sleep and out of the blue my heart starts to beat really fast and I get all sweaty, and feel out of breath, when all I was doing was lying down trying to sleep. I do tend to think/worry about things, so its probably that. I saw my GP about it, and he gave me some sleeping pills, which just make me sleepy all day so i stopped using them. If you are breathing fast it could be a minor anxiety attack, best thing to do is try and calm yourself down, breathe easy, get out of bed and walk around, Ive found having a cold glass of water helps.

i dunno. i've never had that problem because i'm not bothered about friends and relationships, there have been times where i've started shaking or go dizzy while going to sleep, or breathing quickly for no reason.. but its not often.

sounds like mini panic attacks, just try breathing really slowly and deeply for a few minutes, and try to remember that things always seem worse at night than they do in the morning! I used to get panic attacks where i would all of a sudden feel like i coldn't breathe and be in a complete state, but u can train urself to deal with the panicky feelings when u get them.

I often only really think about things when I'm lying in bed at night; yet somehow any problems always seem so much worse then! :p:

I think the best thing to do if you start to panic, is to sit up and take a few deep breaths. Get a drink of water if you feel you need it, and if you don't feel calm enough to try sleeping again yet, then read a book or watch the television for a bit. Do anything which might help distract you, and also possibly make you a bit more tired. :smile:

If it's stopping you from getting to sleep, then it might be worse getting an appointment with your GP. It sounds like you're suffering from anxiety at the very least, and (s)he might be able to give you advice as to how you can deal with attacks. :smile:

I hope you feel better soon! :smile:
