Hi , unable to sleep , feeling breathless , high heart rate and normal investigations suggest that you are purely undergoing anxiety or purely under any stress.
These anxiety related issues GAD (generalised anxiety disorder) causes excessive breathing known as HYPERVENTILATION , increased breathing giving you a feeling of not breathing at all or not getting enough air and causes shortness of breath .This being continued can hamper your biological clock and sleep pattern rhythm.
-short term management includes
-you are breathing from stomach, and take long deep breaths
-Involve in daily tasks which you like and engage in them
-create a routine for your sleep time , make your surrounding calm and dim lighted before bed time with comfortable clothing
-Engage in destressing activity like yoga pranayama deep breathing exercises or listening to music
- I would suggest you to have melantonin and tryptophan rich foods for food sleep and calmness and composure .
Foods rich in Melatonin: Orange, oats, rice, sweet corn, tomato, radish, red wine, pineapple, ginger and morelo cherries.
Foods rich in Tryptophan: Dairy (not cheese), banana, soy, nuts, seafood, turkey, chicken, whole grains, beans and pulses, rice, eggs, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds.
If the complaints persist even after following above for 3 weeks I suggest for long term management for counselling. Hope this helps you !Have a good day!
