Hello,
My name is Jess, I am 19 and I am a student. Recently I have been getting dizziness in the day and then for the passed 2 nights when I go to bed as soon as I am about to fall asleep.. I get very dizzy, a drop in my stomach, fast heart beat and I wake suddenly as if I have woken up from a bad dream. This will happens many, many times until I fall asleep from exhaustion. When I have been asleep for a while I then get nightmares and wake up again in the same way. My family think I am stressed because of Uni and my first attempt at becoming and adult and everything that goes with it.
I was reading up on Panic disorders and I found many of the symptoms affected me, including the feeling like I am outside of myself, shaking, nausea and more.
I haven't yet been to the doctor to confirm any of my suspicions but I am going to do so in the next couple of days.
I have now become scared to go to sleep and I think this is contributing to it. When I was younger I was sick in public places a few times and I then became scared of being sick, I would avoid going out with friends, esp sleepovers or out for dinner for this reason.
My mother and grandmother are big worriers and they also have complained about dizziness. I guess I am getting worried that there is something really wrong with me and I am hoping that people here can tell me what they think of this situation, with their better experience.
Thanks in advance and good to meet you.
