feeling ill in the mornings

Hi all,

Does anyone else with anxiety feel a bit rough in the mornings, especially if they have to wake up early for work?

Over the last week I have been feeling ill when i wake up and for a couple of hours after, it gets better as the day goes on. Symptoms are Dry mouth, neausa, dry heaving, fatigue, weak limbs.

Does anyone know whether this is anxiety,? I have been suffereing from anxiety for a year but have only just noticed this.

Please note that I have been on a big diet recenlty, eating half as much as i usually do. I dont eat breakfast and am out of the house within 10 mins of waking up.

Oh yes....every morning and I mean EVERY morning!  Some are easier than others...but I always have slight nausea, a little shakey, heart beating....it lasts about an hour and then it begins to subside.  I have learned to deal with it by not thinking about it...if this is how it is going to be, then so be it!  Hope you are feeling better!

Lately I have always been feeling crappy in the morning. Weak in the morning, Sick to my stomach, and also nervous and jittery.  I try to force myself to eat some oatmeal and drink some OJ, but sometimes I work myself up to much and cant get anything down.  I wish I could skip mornings all together.  Maybe you should try give yourself more time in the morning to relax before heading out the door and try eating something little to get something in your system. My anxiety has come out full blown within the past 2 months, Im glad im a stay at home mom I really dont know what I would do if I had to go to work like this.
Hopefully the feeling in the morning will all pass for us and we can all go back to feeling somewhat normal again.
Good luck!

Yes as a matter of fact I have it really bad, right now actually. It's 6:30 am and I have to be awake now cause I woke up with anxiety. My stomach feels icky, I feel light headed, and I am trying to calm my heart rate down, although it seems to be around 96 it sure feels like more. This anxiety **** is really getting old, I hate this =(
