    Hi Pamela,

    I don't know if everyone experiences it, but my sister did. She is post meno now, and much better... still a few days here and there but not relentless like it was. She calls it the Morning Doom.

    I am close to meno, and I do go through spells of the same.. waking in a panic every day... sometimes with hot flashes/sweats and heart pounding, but sometimes just panic for no reason.

    Is it worse for you when other stress is high? I know when a lot is going on, I suffer worse with this.

    You are not alone-- hang in there.

    Hi Pamela,

    I feel exactly as you are describing, right now. It started hitting me recently in some evenings, then it would go away. But last night it came on very strong and I'm still dealing with it now, I think it's a delayed reaction to several stressors I had this week . I'm fine if I'm moving but as soon as I'm still, I look for the feeling which I think triggers that heavy heart beating, adrenaline rushy feeling. I hate it, I know what you mean when you describe it as feeling as if you stuck your finger in an electric socket. I did some guided yoga nidra earlier - if you're not familiar it's not the usual type of yoga but one where you lie on your back and listen as you're taken through a 'tour' of all your body parts. That might not sound like anything but is extremely relaxing for the mind and body, I found one that I love on You Tube. It did work but after I went looking for the symptoms again to reassure myself they weren't there and that always backfires. I also take good magnesium and passiflora, and the one with valerian and hops. They work. Funny, since writing this my symptoms dropped significantly. I hope you're able to get some relief.
