is this a panic attack/sleep disorder/anxiety?
everymorning for the past few weeks my fiance has been waking up anywhere between 4:30-8 with chest pain and anxiety-like symptoms. heart racing, chest tightness and pain, sometimes nausea. he cant fall back asleep afterwards. what could this be?
It's so hard to tell from this little bit of information. Anxiety-like symptoms appear with heart problems, but panic attacks can cause a racing heart. I've not heard of chest PAIN with an anxiety attack. How old is he? Is he under stress? What is his family medical history? Does he have a history of panic disorder? Is he feeling extremely frightened during these episodes? Do relaxation techniques help? He should definitely get checked out by a doctor to rule out a heart problem. If it is anxiety, he needs to educate himself (either through reading or counseling) on relaxation techniques. You can help him..they can work wonders. Good Luck!

Sleep Better At Night...
The Sunset Dimmer is the Only Product on the Market that Help You Fall Asleep Gradually & Naturally.
But don't take our word for it. Here is only one Testimonial... "I've been using the Sunset Dimmer in my 7 month old daughter's room for a couple of weeks now. Our pediatrician told us early on how important a regular bedtime routine is when establishing sleep habits with an infant. The 30 minutes of light that the Sunset Dimmer provides is a perfect compliment to that routine. As we change her into pajamas, read a couple of stories, and quietly wind down from the day's activities, the light in her room is slowly and steadily dimming. It is very subtle, but incredibly calming and relaxing. By the time I lay her down in the crib it is almost completely dark and she usually will drift right off to sleep. And, most of the time, I feel ready to do the same! I love my Sunset Dimmer and am going to suggest it to families that have children with sleep issues" Elyssa - Cupertino, CA |
