waking up symptoms, very disturbed sleep

The last few days now, I've woken up around 1-2am with this strange sensation of wanting to pee, a mild tightness possibly down there, however it's still not strong enough to actually make me go pee. That's because I know that my bladder is never actually full at this point. I empty my bladder before bed obviously. For me, I can hold upto around 700ml until I really feel the urge to go.

However the odd thing is that I'll fall back to sleep only to wake up again around 4-5am with that urge still present. But then if I just lie in bed or use my phone or whatever it seems to disappear more or less, within minutes. It's literally just present when it wakes me up.

So I guess I'm trying to work out is why I'm waking up in the first place like this? The past few months I've experienced similar symptoms however my sleeping patterns have been on and off. Sometimes I'll get a good 6-7 hours, other times I've been waking up like above.

Skypilot,
He claims to be 34 as posted in one of the 9 threads he has opened here on HW. Or maybe it was on another forum where he's been locked. I tried to give him some advice in one of his threads. I know we all have fears, especially with the issue of PC we deal with every day of our lives. Winglets seems to be obsessing over waking up to pee at night, strange sensations, strange taste in his mouth and master batin. He stated he knows he obsesses and has been dominating every PC board. He has been locked out of at least one.
Winglets, you really need to get hold of yourself. You have been given advice on several boards to go see a urologist, yet you come back here and ask the same question, multiple times in different threads. Having a fear that there may be something wrong in our bodies may be normal. What you are doing is not the norm. You already said you are jeopardizing your job also because you spend most of your time posting to PC boards. I feel for you, but your mental state and health is also important. As In the Shop and I have already said, get help to fix your anxiety issues and your life will be much better. Go see the proper doctors. A urologist for your peeing, sensation and master batin problems and a doctor to get your anxiety issues resolved. Coming on these boards and asking the questions you pose, getting answers and advice, then ignoring everything that has been said regarding your questions is a waste of everyones time. Step away from your computer, call some doctors and get your issues resolved.

Winglets, the post above is exactly why you need to see a psych. Unless you're just a troll, you seem to have a serious problem, but it's not physical and certainly has nothing to do with cancer. I had the same issue when I was 34, and after a year of therapy, my life normalized. It was worth the effort.
I've been thinking the same thing that skypilot verbalized above.

Go get help

winglets,

Chill. Let me restate that. CHILL. Life is a terminal condition. There isn't any point in micro-managing everything.

I get up to pee 5 of 6 times a night. It is part of the price I pay to not be dead yet.

You need to be talking to your doctors if you want professional opinions. We are a bunch of survivors who try to help those with PCa get through it. We can't diagnose over the internet.

winglets,

Because I have PCa, I've had multiple treatments, and I'm on chemo. Read my sig for details.

I have a bloody mess (literally) where most men have a bladder. But you see, I would rather pee that often than be dead. My uro, onco, and GP discuss these things as needed.

As a Moderator, you are driving me nuts with the incessant posts. Ask your medical professionals. I am not one.
