Can't sleep, have other symptoms too

[JumpingDizzy]

Hi, I started a couple of threads recently as I came off citalopram a few months back and also came off the pill a couple of weeks ago.

I'm not sure if this can be connected but I've been feeling awful lately. My boobs are really tender and swollen, I feel like I have something stuck in my stomach, also get tightness in the middle of my chest and palpitations. And I get unreal fatigue.

At night I can't sleep very well, keep waking gasping for breath and just feel very very weird? Like a spaced out feeling and that I'm dying

I've been to the dr and she checked my breasts and was worried about the left one's tissue so I have to go back in 2 weeks to see if that's changed? I mentioned the palpitations too but nothing much said about this? She checked my heart and chest.

I said I'd rather not go on citalopram again and would like to try natural rememdies and meditation. This is hard to do at night as when I try I feel worse.

it sounds like anxiety. speak to your gp about alternatives to citalopram.

I did speak to her but she said she'd look into hypnotherapy as she didn't know much about it? She's asking the dr who does it.

thanks for the reply kidcreoleandthecoconuts

well the kids have gone with daddy so I'm going to go and try to get some sleep as have friends coming over tonight. Need to tidy when I get up.
