Sleep

Does having to much affect anxiety levels the next day and why when i go to bed ii feel fine but when i get up i feel like ive been beaten in the chest with a club

Hi ashero

I haven't experienced the chest thing but I am much more likely to feel anxious and zombie-like if I have too much sleep.

Chris

maybe the chest thing is due to overbreathing while sleeping?

Maybe it's just in your mind?

It is quite normal when you are anxious to feel like your chest is tight or painful. Adrenalin does have an effect on the pectoral muscles and the intercostal muscles in the rib-cage. That (coupled with changes in the heart-rate) is what causes a lot of people to think they are having a heart attack when they are anxious.
