Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Anxiety disorder should interrupt sleep. The treatment which you should follow is more of changing your life style along with your medicines. Plenty of Oxygen, plenty of water and active life style with lots and lots of exercise are necessary to overcome anxiety. Once you start these, your life shall be meaningful and you should get enough sleep. Psychotherapy preferably CBT can help you in your condition.

Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy (CBT) techniques which should help you cure your condition.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
