cant sleep and chest pain

[PaleBlue90]

so here it is at 238am and im wide awake again. i have slept 3 hours in 2 days. i got home tonight, ate dinner and took some sleeping meds. it worked....3 hours later i had a nightmere and woke up. i couldnt get back to sleep. ive tryed. i tryed focusing on my breatheing and it hasnt worked.

last time i lost sleep like this and id get mad or whatever my chest would get tight. keep in mind im only 20 . i went to a doc and they said my heart is fine. my blood pressure is a little high, but nothing outta normal. they made me run on a tradmill and did some other tests and i came out just fine. i did a sleeping test too. i had a couple nightmeres during the test but was able to go back to bed. so idk what to think.

when i got like this over summer id go out and work on the truck and id be just fine. ive tryed working out but that doesnt work. hot shower has me relax but i cant fall asleep. what gives? anyone think im heading to the loony bin?

How about reading?

Probably stress related. What are the nightmares about?

It sounds like an anxiety attack.

Check your zinc levels or just start taking a supliment. Also I have found that Melatonin capsules are great for getting to sleep easy, I take one at bedtime everynight. Go natural and avoid the over the counter sleep medicine, that stuff will mess you up.

How is your diet? Take in alot of caffiene/sugar? What time of the day are you working out?

This sounds like a problem for Doctor House...

my mom, life itself. alot of the dreams i have come true
people i kno my self as well haveing bad luck or gettin hurt. for example, (went to friends last night. one of them tryed to ride to his dirt bike on a snowpacked street and snapped his ankle. before he did it i told him it was going to happen)

It sounds like an anxiety attack.

i thought that too

i take in come caffiene. not nearly as much as i used too

This sounds like a problem for Doctor House...

Been there, done that>>>>

Everytime I went to the Dr., as soon as I said my chest hurt all the way up into my right shoulder, had pain in my right bicept, they thru me into ER and did an EKG, all fine!

I do have a hiatel hernia, GERD, asthma, chronic broncitis, acute sinusitis, all of which don't help the condition................

UT in Knoxville, didn't even hesitate, they did a immediate heart cath since I had been complainin for over a year...........heart cath was clear, then they did a Echocardiogram, clear again, so then they did an Edoscopy (scope w/camera down the throat), and results were.....esophogus enflamed, upper part of my stomach was irritated.

They changed my stomach medication, it has backed off some, but I still get the discomfort, I've told them that if I ever do get the BIG ONE, I'll never know it, as I have chest pain DAILY!

Hope this helps ya some............TAKE IT EASY!

[rockin86ranger]

when you find something let me know cause this is word for word what my dad has dealt with for years. They havent found anything after tons of trips to the hospital, emergency room, everything. It kills him its even more irritating cause they cant find anything which makes it worse so when you find something please pm me because he really needs help

Chiropractor.

Sounds weird but it helps relieve alot of stress in your body and helped me majorly.

Workout hard about 3 hrs before bed too can help.

sleep in pitch black, if you like me and have things in your room with those blue lights (computer, dvd player, make sure the lights are covered)

and honestly, sexual release? any kinda of tension can mess with your sleep. If you can't make your brain shut up.

sounds exactly like what happened to me right before the doc told me I'd lost my marbles down the storm drain and they were never coming back.

Accepting crazy it makes it easier to deal with, and a lot more fun.

Come work with me for a week,come 10pm when the head hits the pillow,GONE!

Seriously though,maybe it's time for a sleep study at the hospital.
