Do I Have A Sleep Disorder?

Eveytime I fall asleep, I usually wake up 5 minutes later because I feel as I blackout and my eyes roll to the back of my head. My head now hurts and I felt like I was drifting and I could make a sound and I heard a sound of my old dogs voice who just passed away a month or two ago. Do I have a sleeping disorder?

Hi,

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to anxiety. I would exclude any possible sleep disorder, considering your description. So, I would recommend consulting with a psychotherapist to help you manage anxiety. It will really help improve your situation.

Hope to have been helpful. Let mew know if I can assist you further.

Kind regards,
Dr. Aida
