Hi Twila, I used to get this when my anxiety was bad, i would wake up in a panic, heart racing and sweating, i had very vivid dreams at the time. I am a lot better at the moment and i don't have this so it will pass hunny.
Take care

Daisybun, Thank you for your reply!! Just knowing that out there somewhere is somone that I can talk to about this problem really helps. I do not have any one else to talk to, my family thinks that I am just crazy. So thanks again.:)

Hi Twila,
I had this the other night, went to bed then woke up feeling like i was gasping for air and really panicky. Its very rare this happens to me now, but when it does i try not to worry (easier said than done!) and usually go downstairs and watch a bit of tv until it passes and i've calmed down.
You are definately not crazy!!!
Take care.

Hi Twila,
defo think the worst attacks can happen at nite, my reasoning that even if I wasnt painicing at the time the dark or dull lite and the quiet play tricks with the mind anyway. Add a panic attack to that and things seem much worse. This week has been a bad one, mine have taken me by suprise this time, hadnt had any for a little while.
The other thing is that nite time ones seem to add more intensity to fatigue.
One of the ways I have dealt with it in the past is to always have a book to hand or try and watch some tv and not try to sleep again until im really tired again.
Good luck and hope you feel well soon.

I do this all the time last time was sunday night only slept for a hour then woke up sweating, heart racing very aggiatated. i just try and watch telly read or listening to music.
Hi Twila, I quite often wake up in a panic, heart racing etc. May be due to dreaming or just having something on our minds that we can't switch off from.
