Thank you newrunner and Rob!

At least I know it's normal. I will try exercising first thing in the morning to see if it helps my adrenalin threshold.

Maybe in time, as I am used to exciting and good things happening, my body will adjust.

Thanks!

I get anxious also when i try to cut out 'bad' foods. It's really just in my mind because it is a hard thing to do. Somewhere in the back of my mind i think how hard it's going to be and i can't run to my favorite foods to make me feel better. Have you ever noticed that when you feel anxious that ea...

Last night (second time this month) I have woken up without being able to get any air because my throat has closed almost completely.
