we experience the physical consequences of insomnia

for me they are my eyes burning,headache

but the one i am really scared about is the tightness on my chest

when i look on the net this is not a symptom from insomnia

but i experience it on a daily basis,the less i sleep the worse it is

at what point insomnia becomes dangerous

it’s maybe all in my head but it feels like i am close to getting a heart attack

i told my doctor this he said that’s because you more than tired

my question is does anybody here have that symptom also is it normal our dangerous

i can live with all the rest but this is a scary one

Unfortunately, I don’t think anyone here is qualified to give you an opinion on chest tightness. This should be discussed with your doctor — and, if you are unhappy with what he or she says, you may want to seek a second opinion.

What I can say is that insomnia is very rarely dangerous. Perhaps the biggest risk associated with insomnia is accidents related to falling asleep and overall drowsiness (for example, falling asleep at the wheel when driving).

Despite all the sensational media reports, there is actually very little in the way of solid evidence to support the idea that insomnia is a risk to our overall health. This is probably because, after a certain amount of sleep deprivation, we will sleep.

In this sense, sleep is a similar biological function to breathing — we can hold our breath for a while, but eventually, the body will take over and force us to breathe.
