[quote=Anonymous]Mine wake me up at night. When they're mild, I switch on my bedside lamp and read for a bit to distract myself. When they're moderate, I lie across the bed and let my head dip past the side of mattress. This triggers the parasympathetic nervous system, which has the effect of slowing my blood pressure and heart rate. And I read while I do this, for distraction. If they're severe and I can't stay still, I wake up DH, and he takes my arm and we walk up and down the living room until I feel calm enough to get back into bed. And if they're beyond that, and I collapse on the floor because I can't catch my breath, then he calls an ambulance and I end up in the ER. But that hasn't happened in a LONG time. [/quote]
