Does Sleep Apnea Cause Anxiety At Night?
My type of anxiety has nothing to do with fear. My primary medical doctor thought it had to do with sleep apnea so I started using an oxygen machine but I still wake up abruptly wanting to get up and start running. In fact I do get up in the middle of the night and start walking inside or outside the house.

Hello,
Anxiety could be due to many reasons. Anxiety is part of your body's defence mechanism. To treat anxiety we need to understand the basic cause of the anxiety.
I suggest psychoeducation, counselling and psychotherapy for you.
