Hi All,
Need something answering before I go a bit nuts.
Past couple of weeks, I've been feeling weird. I've fallen off to sleep then I wake sharply because my body feels as if stops breathing (usually sleep on my side, head elevated). When I wake up it feels like I'm not breathing then my body instinctively jerks or I take in a large gasp of oxygen
If I relax sometimes it feels like my heart beats really fast, then starts slowing down almost to a stop. A similar thing is when I wake up from the weird sleeping it feels like all the blood is drained from my body in an instant.
It's starting to freak me out if I'm honest, because I'm getting paranoid about sleeping and dying. Sound stupid I know but :(
Anyway, my medical history. I'm overweight (BMI is about 35) I think, but I frequently work out and have a load of energy. I'm not in employment so unsure if this could contribute to stress. I don't suffer high blood pressure. Not sure if cholestoral is linked to it but no idea about mine, given my size it's probably high as a kit. My dad is diabetic, no know heart problems in family
I'm probably getting a bit paranoid, and freaking myself out but just want to find out if I have some weird condition
