Have you seen a psychiatrist or your primary doctor? They can prescribe some anti-anxiety meds.

Also, have you had any trouble breathing, including seasonal allergies?

Do you have any even potentially stressful events coming up?

I have a friend who gets crippling anxiety and has no idea why. I know why, though. Because there is a potentially stressful situation coming up but she won't admit that it could be stress inducing. Thus - anxiety. Or she has a relationship she has to let go of and can't admit it quite yet. This is what's called low insight (or at least I think it is, could be wrong).

The body knows before the brain does, quite often.

I used to take medication for my anxiety; however, the doctor weaned me off of it when I became pregnant with my second son and I didnt have any anxiety symptoms during the pregnancy. I am now breastfeeding and really don't want to turn back to medication because of that, but I think I may need to because my anxiety is gradually getting worse, again. I don't have any stressful events coming up, but then again everything seems to be a stressor for me lately. Thank you for your response!

You might want to give repetitive prayers, mantras or meditation a try. Not so much for the spiritual side of it, but as you focus on the repetition it helps break your spiraling thought pattern that often accompanies a bout of anxiety. I am not religious but it has helped me in the past at bedtime to ease my anxiety and bring sleep.

I get exactly the same thing, as the evening wears on I get more and more anxious, and at night I can be really anxious, I take vallium for this when its very bad, but try not to do this. I pray, that helps, but maybe you should go back to your doctor and explain the situation.

Thank you,for the comments! They were very helpful. I'm hoping to find some relief today at my appointment.

I also have very bad bedtime anxiety. Just thinking of the day starting all over again just scares me I guess. But I have started taking an evening bath every night with music I enjoy listening to and just clearing my mind. That way I can go to bed feeling relaxed. I still have anxiety, but it isn't severe and I'm able to calm it enough to sleep. I hope it helps and good luck today

Well I have the opposite I get very anxious in the morning I do take I have a piece of Xanax at night to help me sleep but in the morning I can't lay there once I wake up I have anxiety don't know why maybe it's like the other lady said thinking about the whole day what's going to happen next :(
