Hi, I'm Brea 18, for a week now i been having these episodes where I try to sleep and I wake up with my heart pounding and shortened breathing. Which is causing me not to sleep. Ever since I graduated in June I have had anxiety, with everything changing and a lot of home problems, such as moving away from my abusive mother (verbal and physical) I don't know what is going on. The doctor yesterday told me it was mostly my asthma but I don't know how accurate that is. I have a therapist appointment Tuesday just to make surr it's not my anxiety. What do you think this could be.
