Morning anxiety and nausea

Hi all,

I have developed morning anxiety attacks over the last couple of weeks. This is new to my anxiety which I have had for 3 months all caused by ptsd from operations.

Spot on 4am every morning I'll awake with heart pulpitations, sweaty palms, tingling in arms, nausea and will start to pacing the house for 3 hrs until I go to work.

This sets the day up with anxiety until the sun goes down and all symptons disappear and have no problems falling asleep.

I have tried breathing techniques but hasn't helped.

What has helped others with this same problem? Need to break the cycle somehow?

It's your adrenal glands!
High cortisol I bet!
Get tested or you'll regret it later!

Hey lind45511,
I have the same issues. Like I’ll wake up and be nauseous and then it will go away as the day goes by. I think it has to do with coffee .
How did you resolve this?
