I have probably always suffered from anxiety but it never used to affect my sleep. About 2 yrs ago I had a panic/anxiety attack - not the 1st i'd had - but this time it seemed to affect me more as it stopped me sleeping one night, which I think then introduced the idea that I couldn't sleep in my head. Since then I get these bouts of insomnia depending on my anxiety levels. But when I moved to Dubai 7 months ago, I had just gone on a low dose of anxiety tabs, but I only took them for 2-3 wks cos I life was going well and i was sleeping properly. I was then completely fine for a few months and was starting to forget I ever had a problem. Then in July I had a setback, in the form of a guy(!) The man trouble has been ongoing since then and so has my axiety and sleeplessness. I need to knock this sleep problem on the head cos it really makes my anxiety much worse. Looked into sleep hypnotherapy but it's too expensive... I generally exercise to tire myself out. Haven't done much this week, maybe that's the problem. I went to bed at 5 last night after going out drinking, then woke up around 10 and am now feeling awful! Just wish I could sleep.... For me it is the not sleeping which is the worst.

I had a Anxiety attack aroung 2 1/2 months ago was soooo freaky, I'm not on any meds and just trying to deal with it, I get the odd day's when I feel off but have had no major panic attacks. I do mainly have a dry mouth and keep drinking water, my GP told me to go swimming to relax. I don't like indoor pools that we have in london. will jogging be ok to do ? When I feel off I just try and forget it and get on with it. Its all odd but we must just try to get on with our life. HEY ALL!

What are naughties? I jog regularly. I am 33 and in pretty good health. My nerves are still sensitized. I hope with time the palpitations will go away for good. Hi lisa,

Thanks. What are naughties? I jog regularly. I am 33 and in pretty good health. My nerves are still sensitized. I hope with time the palpitations will go away for good.

It is frustrating for me because I go to sleep just fine, but it's when I wake up usually in the middle of the night and my heart starts to beat fast automatically -- that when my anxiety level goes up. Some days I am able to ignore it and just fall back to sleep and other days I get physical sensations in my head and I feel an attack coming on. I know I am doing a lot better, but I still have this hill to get over, and it seems difficult right now. Hi, Paul –

My heart would race sometimes but it was o.k, no big deal, it was just adrenalin. Its all about your attitude to any symptom, that is the key.
