This is weird

[Iskallos]

So long story short I've had anxiety for a while with a lot of physical symptoms, a lot of them going away and sometimes coming back or new ones coming into the fray. Last night though when I was trying to sleep, I heard something like a bell ringing, like a doorbell that's an actual bell. I ignored it but it happened again and after that it stopped but then, just as I had started to doze off I jumped up and gasped for air like someone had just splashed water over my face (not actual feeling like that, of course). This proceeded to happen a couple more times until I turned my light on and fell asleep. 

Has something like that ever happened to any of you? It kinda reminds me of the time I thought I was going to have a heart attack and my heart would flutter every time I was about to go to sleep. This time though it came out of nowhere and it's freaking me out a bit.

Hi Iskallos  

Welcome to Beyond Blue and thank you for coming here and providing your post.  

 Firstly, no, I can’t say that anything like this has happened to me – and now it’s been a day or so since you posted, may I ask has this kind of thing happened again to you?  

One other question for you – have you recently been put on any new medication(s)?   I guess that’s a long shot, but just thought I’d ask.  

Kind regards  

Neil
