    Just do breathing excersise before bed. Make sure you're breathing through your belly. You could also be breathing too fast, which is causing you to hyperventilate and have a hard time breathing a bit.

      Try lavender. Rub some lavender essential oil on your temples before bed. Lavender is known to calm you. Also, try a salt lamp.. They're supposed to be great for both respiration and anxiety.

    You are suffering an anxiety, talk to your GP especially when you have lost so much weight. Your GP will aproach your concerns and make a decision for a treatment plan
