Anxiety! Physical symptoms - head whoosh falling inside head feeling

I can relate so much to everything you're saying. It's so scary. I'm sorry you have to suffer through this but know you're not alone. I used to get the brain surges right before I fell asleep too, I still get it sonetones. Sometimes I woke up on the middle of the night gasping for air and also felt weird in bed like it was moving but wasn't. I was terrified to sleep too. It's a horrible feeling, sleep should be peaceful but it's scary.i was. Even afraid to sleep in my own bed so I slept in the spare room next to my parents for a few weeks: I don't know how, but somehow I kinda got over it. I think In time you will too. I know lots of doctors say no tv before bed, but I have to watch tv before bed. I watch a lighthearted show before bed and always fall asleep with the tv on for distraction. Maybe try this out? I pick a channel I know nothing bad/scary will come on like Disney channel or Hallmark channel. Oh and in the beginning when I was terrified of sleep I slept with a stuffed animal or a couple. It helped a lot. I'm 22 and all the advice I gave sounds like im 10 🙊. Anyways, hang in there precious. If you need a chat private message me ( I don't know how to private message people on here, hope you do).  Get some rest! 

Hi anonymousgirl21, i hope you're ok, i know this posting is a year old.  I first began getting a lot of weird symptoms, similar to how you describe in 2011 (google spiritual awakening as i can tick off everything on there).  around about the time it first began, i was so stressed and going through a lot of change in my life.  Things had to change, for  my own good, I was ignoring this inner knowing and it took my health getting bad to make me stop, give up my toxic job and rethink my lifestyle.  Around this time I was also wondering about deeper things, such as the meaning of life.  I had become very philosophical, started doing yoga and meditation.  I was going through a shift in consciousiness; a spiritual awakening.  Four years later, the head whooshing has been happening for about 6 months, as my awakening is deepening.  That falling feeling inside the head is so freaky, yes for sure.  Try to calm yourself by touching your heart and breathing as you listen to your breath.  Even though I knew I had gone through weird sensations and experiences in 2011, I still got my brain checked out with blood tests, as my short term memory seems to have disappeared right now.  All tests came back clear.  I really feel deeply that a lot of people are also going through a spiritual awakening.  There are changes happening to people 'inside' to help cope with life on the outside.  The world is pretty chaotic right  now and this spiritual awakening is a re-alignment back to our planet, to nature.  We are all healing and it's a blessing to be experiencing this.  Ride the tide.  What helps is looking inside for reasons to be grateful, even if the whooshing is scary.  Also, i recommend you try mindfulness meditation or some breathing meditation and join a yoga class.  These all help to quieten the mind and de-stress.  Be in nature, as much as you can too.  I hope some, if not all of this, helps you or any others experiencing out of the ordinary symptoms.

I've had anxiety for years but it starting being pretty bad around 18 years old I'm now 25 and I've tried to developp tools i.e arts, taking walks, talk therapy but sometimes my panic attacks get really bad...all that to say that I understand what you're going through if i may say. 

Did you get any help? I am having whooshing feelings in my head when in first stages of falling asleep and I wonder if it is anxiety or stress related.
