Hello.
It's 4:30AM-ish where I live, and just this night I had this experience that a lot of other people seem to have experienced as well. Just before I fall asleep, I feel very breathless and feel like blacking out; it feels like I'm about to die. 6 hours ago, I tried to sleep 6-7 times, but every time I had to get up as the attacks came in, and in the beginning I felt a little light-chested and felt kind of dizzy, but later on it genuinely felt like I was going to die.
I'm just 14 as of now, and I do know my mother suffered these for tens of years and I'm presuming it's unfortunately been passed on to me. She's always say that she was scared of sleeping and that she just couldn't sleep and now I see what she meant.
Does this have anything to do with anxiety? Or is it some kind of disease? Is it more of a mental state of mind? I'd like some help and I'm rather afraid to get back into bed now.
