weird sensations while falling asleep
Hello, im writing this fast because i woke up and i am afraid to go back to sleep. This has occurred to me quite often but tonight it was the worst. I fell asleep normally but after an hour or so i woke up but i was drifting back to sleep. During me falling asleep my ears started feeling as if there was pressure from an airplane and then they started ringing as if i was going deaf and my chest felt as if it was sinking and being crushed or almost as if my heart was going to stop, it made me really afraid and was terrifying so I regained my consciousness but I could not move any part of my body and it was very hard to open my eyes, the only way to stop this was for me to forcefully jolt myself up quickly to fully "wake up" I am terrified and this has gotten worse and now I am afraid to go back to sleep. Could this be any sort of condition? Maybe anxiety? Regardless I would be really grateful and thankful for any help I will receive wether its a more diagnosis type answer or just a way to resolve it.
