Poor sleep
How do y'all sleep? My sleep is so poor, I basically can't sleep at night. As soon as I get comfy and try to fall asleep, I start getting shortness of breath, chest tightness, palpitations. I can feel my heartbeat through my whole body. Sometimes my legs start shaking almost like I'm shivering. Then I start feeling anxious and as if something is seriously wrong. It seems like the same pattern of being up until around 4:30 in the morning. So frustrating, I never had a problem with sleep before this. I almost called 911 last night the palpitations were so bad. All doctors are shunning me off. I went to see a naturopath and they said I have iron deficiency and all of my levels (vitamins, electrolytes, etc) are low based on bloodwork. Told me to start taking 400mg magnesium bisglycinate and 250mg l-theanine before bed to help with sleep, and ask my doctor for a referral to get an iron infusion. I keep ice packs handy for when the palpitations won't leave me alone.
What helps you with sleep? I feel so bad because I am literally bed ridden throughout the day and can't do anything. I think I'm developing sleep anxiety because I am so worried about how I am going to feel at night. I just feel like giving up at this point 😭
