Sleeping Problems?

Well to be honest, I dont really have any problems trying to get to sleep unless I feel really anxious about things [Incomplete uni work etc].  Buts its problems whilst a sleep. I tend to wake up panicing that I am chocking on something, and ill run in to my parents room and be like, Im chocking lol. At 1st when my mum and step dad told me that i was doing it, it seemed like a novelty and I laughed. But its going over that point now, because it happens alot. Usually I will actually remember the subconcious state im in and when I awake in the morning, Ill be like for ***** sake. One time I actually put a lock on my door and the next morning the lock is on the floor and I have a hugh chip out of my door frame. For instance, 2 nights ago I felt like I woke up but didnt remember and I hate when i dont remember. So last night before I went to bed I put my guitar amplifier in front of my door so I would no if i woke up during the night. This morning I woke up and my amplifier was far away from my door. My mum told me it sounded like I fell down the stairs. Grr, now im starting to worry about this. Ive always worryed that I have a brain tumor or something and its making me do all these things. But when Im thinking positively I think that maybe because it plays on my mind before I sleep and that my anxiety is making all this happen. My anxiety has been on going since I was a child and would take me a whole day to go in to every detail of my symptoms etc so i wont bother. But if anyone can give me advice or if you experience simalar things please reply :)

Thanks in advance

Three little words: "See a doctor."

OK, four words: "See a doctor, now."

You need to go into detail with a psychiatrist -NOT us. There will be some here who can recall remarkable events from their own history and therefore can give you some special support. That said, it is doctor time. Now.
