Machair Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 Morning are becoming very difficult as I have new family responsibilities that mean there isn't as much time as there was to get up slowly. I am finding that by 10am I am very panic stricken and symptomatic and it causes more bathroom trips palpitations and general feelings of panic. How do you manage mornings and do others find rushing the getting up process triggers worsening symptoms? Thank you so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea otter Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 Yes, rushing the getting up is worsening my symptoms. Usually I am taking easy until 11 am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTRJ75 Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 I don't think there's a workaround to this other than not waking up. Do you take anything before bed for sleep? I know melatonin will help get me to sleep, but harder to get out of bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erinlia Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 I totally get what you are saying. For me i need to wake up at 8:30, get out of bed at nine. Then i sit on the couch and read to my girls til ten. By ten or ten thirty i am SO spend and go back to bed to sleep til noon or so. To be on my feet during that morning time feels like way too much. I also avoid making decisions during that time. It would be super hard for me if i had to change that routine and be more productive during that time, or it i couldnt go back to bed to sleep again. Im not sure what the solution would be without finding a med or something thst made me feel lots better in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machair Posted April 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 Thank you so much for your replies. I feel so sorry for you erinlia- I think you must have small children which is super hard. I was very lucky as I got ill 27 years ago when my 4 children were all at school. I am now looking after my granddaughter so there is a lot more responsibility and I am trying to find ways of managing the mornings. Extra salt tablets (Vitassium) seem to help a little as they are helping to push my morning blood pressure to 100/60 rather than 80/60 which is far too low. I am trying to get up slowly and allow things to normalise before leaving the house as it otherwise causes enormous adrenaline rushes which are so unpleasant. Wishing all of you who replied all my very best wishes.xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
