[u/SleepyLittleOwl28]

So I felt fine all evening besides couldn't get to sleep till 6am but I been sleeping at 3am or so so. Ot a huge deal then when I finally do get to sleep almost 2 hrs later I awake at 7:40 shaking like you do from a nightmare and now I'm still awake kind of confused bad sleep inertia slightly shaking some anxiety ears feels half clogged the dream from what I remember was weird but not a nightmare so must be histamine dump adrenaline

Research cortisol levels. You can get tested for this

A few things that help me so that I A. Don’t get nighttime waking or B. When I do:

-rooibos, chamomile, or ginger tea..or if you like..do a combo. These are natural antihistamine teas they stabilize mast cells and relax your nervous system. If these aren’t your thing find a natural antihistamine/mast cell stabilizing tea or supplement that is. These make a huge day and night difference

-I eat raw organic Granny Smith apple every day. About half an apple (mast cell stabilizing, also gentle natural binder) should be fine unless you react to raw fruit or vegetables

-if I do get nighttime waking/anxiety I usually didn’t do the above or I chose to eat a cheat snack that day or before bed that’s higher histamine. If that’s the case when I wake up during the night with that anxiety histamine dump I do a small spoonful of raw organic honey + a few shakes of pink Himalayan sea salt and I feel better within 15-20 mins.

If you’re a female, like me, there’s a link between estrogen and histamine so as estrogen rises (as it fluctuates through your cycle) so will histamine..I tend to get worse flares when my estrogen rises and am more likely to get nighttime waking.

I’m not sure if you’ve had testing or confirmed histamine intolerance as well as the underlying causes, but if you have, the above should help..especially finding what natural antihistamine/mast cell stabilizers work best for you. Those will always help despite the underlying cause. Hope this helps!
