Dizziness and panic

[Sockpuppet]

Just woke up and feeling so anxious, shoulders and neck are so tense. Think I have vertigo too! When I lay down I get dizzy and when I get up I get dizzy too. Just trying to figure out if its anxiety or actually vertigo?! Does anyone else feel like they are losing their mind? Am so scared right now. Just trying to deep breathe...

Hope your ok, it's the worst thing ever waking up in a panic. It's something I can't get my head around as you think you would be relaxed in your sleep. It does sound like anxiety I often wake up like that. I usually sit up really slowly and go get a drink of cold water with my beta blockers. Sipping the water usually helps me.
