Thank you Melissa, It is so great to have someone to talk to when I wake up like this. I don't feel so alone. I hope you are feeling better too. Night time is the worst time to get these PA because everyone else is sleeping. Okay then lets try to calm down and get back to sleep.

I am awake too. I feel bad every morning. I start trying to relax all over again. I get missed heartbeats, queasiness,shakiness. My husband is lying here sleeping soundly as usual while I am going thru this. I am glad there is someone to communicate with. Just sorry that it means someone else is suffering too.

Hi Mia, Sure stinks to be up by yourself and feel so bad. It is so great to have support of people like you. Sorry that you are another one of us who have been cursed with anxiety. Thanks for you kind words. It is so great to talk to others like myself.

</td id="quote"></tr id="quote"></table id="quote"> I'm just waiting until my husband is up. I take him to work every morning. I hate driving when I am feeling bad, but I am used to it. Sometimes I just drive around to keep from being alone at home. Usually my son is here, but he went away for the night.

hey there, i totally sympathise with ya. i havnt had a panic attack for almost a year and then the past couple of weeks ive been stressed at work and ive been feeling out of sorts again. Lo and behold i woke up in the night with hot and cold sweats and thinking my world was ending when i realised i was having a panic attack. worst thing ever.

when i get these i tend to sit upright in my bed or the bathroom (because its cold there) and take deep breaths, holding my breath in then exhaling ensuring that my body totally relaxes before taking another breathe in. this seems to help and lets me get back to sleep again.

its soooo scarey though, try deep breathes next time, fingers crossed they do the business for you like theydo for me.

good luck
