Last night about 230 i woke up and felt anxious felt like heart beat was rapid but it was only 78 but in middle of chest area just below sternum i felt well i guess an irritative anxiety feeling. So I go up and walked around my house and tried to settle down and then went back into bed. I have had this before but not sure what it is. anyone else out there have this and what do you do for it thanks for your help steve

Get some liquid into you, and do a relaxation routine (it takes some effort to find what works at night).

Often, mild dehydration in the night is a symptom of anxiety and you will usually notice a difference within moments. You may still have symptoms, they just will feel lesser, and as you move around, they will disappear naturally.

Best wishes to feeling better.

This happens to me sometimes, but not often. I agree with mideyebrow, I usually get a glass of water and that helps me. If it's frequent and you can't find a solution I suggest speaking to a doctor about it.

First I want to say how terribly worried I have been not hearing from you. Secondly, having a panic attack or just anxiety can feel like a heart attack for many people. I hope you will talk with your doctor about this? I am worried about you. Hugs

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
