Woke up and feel really nauseous

Hi everyone. It's been a while, but I hope someone might be able to help me. My 3 year old son wanted me to lay down with him at bedtime and I ended up falling asleep with him. I woke up about an hour later and now I feel horrible. I'm nauseous, heart is pounding/racing and I feel like I am going to throw up. Is this some weird anxiety thing from being asleep and then waking up? Has anyone ever had this happen to them? Is there something wrong with me right now? I'm afraid to go back to sleep.

hi gigi,

i think of sleep as being the great healer. i encourage you to go back to sleep. you may wake up feeling fine. as far as the nauseous feeling, it could be something you ate, or it could just be anxiety. try some deep breathing to relax your body.

i hope that you feel better!

love,
rich

Thank you everyone. After a couple of hours had passed I realized I probably wasn't in any imminent danger and I was able to get some sleep. I feel a little better this morning. This health anxiety is sometimes too much. I want just for once to not think every little thing is some ominous horrible thing that is the end of me. I'm sure many of you can relate to that battle.
