Do People With Insomnia Have Any Other Health Conditions?
I deal with migraines, depression, and severe anxiety. Thankfully I have a wonderful doctor who believes me and has me on a wonder treatment program for the underlying conditions!
I have tinnitus and hyperacusis. Along with these two gems, I was diagnosed with what my ENTs think is Meniere's disease. Tinnitus and hyperacusis make it impossible to sleep without some source of sound--white noise and a fan at the very least. April, Insomnia.Sleep-Disorders.net, Moderator
Well when I could not sleep for almost 18 months, I developed the following -
1. Heart palpations , I could hear my heart beating hard all the times with different types of pace
2. Extreme fatigue - I could not walk for more than a few steps at a stretch
3. Migraines and daily headaches 24/7
4. Foggy head - my head would spin all the time 24/7
5. Dry skin & itching
6. Depression
7. Anxiety
8. Panic Attacks
I took all them down one by one, step by step without medication.

– thanks for sharing your experiences. I think a lot of others can relate with what you shared. It goes to show the importance of sleep and how bodies are so connected. Best, Minel (Team Member)
I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It doesn't affect on just a single random night of Insomnia, but if I go several days straight of little to no sleep it definitely starts to play a part. My anxiety hits a point that is unbearable.
