Answer 1

Sounds like anxiety. You need to take sometime out and stop thinking about everything. Take some time to rest and relax and not think of anything.



A good way of stopping anxiety is to take ten deep breaths, with each breath hold for 10 counts and then release and repeat. Do this 10 times, you will find your body will relax. With anxiety you tend to shallow breathe, so taking deep breaths this should help releave the tension.

Sounds like Anxiety Big girl! I suffered from it . Every time I went to bed I got so uptight about it and ended fell asleep because that's what I do when i get nervous or anxious, I get sleepy, but my brain kept working, so I was only ever in the first stages of sleep never deep sleep. I would sleep for 7-8 hours but wake up knackered.

The heart thing was due to the fact that I was waiting for my heart to pound, more I heard it the harder it pounded causing chest pain and an imaginary heart attack, hence the Anxiety kicked in. Valerian is a herbal sedative and I take 4 of these every 2nd night. They're great.

Good luck Big girl,!!

Answer 3

It sounds like acute anxiety attacks which worsen the more you think of them and as you have been having these pains for a while you start to worry before they actually happen. Try some relaxation tapes or learn the technique of progressive muscle relaxation. I'm sure there is info on the net. Otherwise short term only try sleeping pills or valium, to break the pattern. be careful of using these because they are highly addictive.

Answer 4

it sounds like anxiety. Are you really stressed or is something bothering you? The other alternative is reflux which is caused by food. Look both these things up. Good Luck
