Hi there, I wanted to mention that I recognize a few of your symptoms that I have, as an anxiety disorder. Have you been diagnosed with anxiety or panic attacks?

I experienced extreme anxiety upon waking after my appendectomy a week ago. I am experiencing increased anxiety upon waking from sleep now at home. Can the two be related.

Or is there any way to know since everyone is different.

Very interesting you just posted this. I got on this morning to ask the same question. I feel like I have a pretty good handle on my anxiety during the day, but I wake up with a strange fear feeling every morning as well. I am also taking Lexapro. Once I get up and going, I'm usually ok, but upon waking, I am extremely nervous and afraid, but not of anything in particular. I'd love to hear from others. I've also wondered if it is just general anxiety causing this or the meds.
I am a 48 year old female. I have a problem with total boby tingling upon waking, even my head and face, sometimes feeling like I have been breathing too shallow. This has been happening for about one yr. I occassionally have tingling throughtout the day in my legs, arms, and scalp. I spoke to my pcp about this problem and he said "That doesn't make since" and changed the subject. When sleeping I periodically wake with an arm, leg, or my side tingling.
I generally experience panic attacks first thing in the morning upon waking. And when this happens the feeling seems to last for a couple of days at a time. I recently started taking Klonopin 0.5 milligram. The Klonopin helps me sleep peacefully but of course I awaken in the morning with the same anxious feeling that radiates from my head to my feet.
Can I take klonopin during the day? Is Xanax a better option?
Six times in the past two weeks, upon waking from sleep, I have noticed a moving spot in both eyes. I first thought it was a spider moving across the white wall of the bedroom. So much so that I got out of bed to look for a shoe. The second time, I woke and saw it on the ceiling. Same thing; I rose and picked up a shoe to kill it, and then realized that there wasn't anything there.
s quite hard for me to sleep while breathing on my nose. I usually get dry mouth upon waking up. Idk, I felt really fine falling asleep. But then I read about Sleep Apnea I feel like I'm having it. I don't really know. But I got really anxious while falling alseep, and I wake up like a few seconds. I don't really know if it's just all in my head, or do I really have sleep apnea.
I have been experiencing a strobe-like effect of flashing light in my full field vision immediately upon waking that last for just a few seconds and then resolves. Not experiencing any other flashes throughout the day.
