I am not a doctor, but those things all can absolutely be attributed to anxiety.
Are you doing anything to treat your anxiety?

My most severe panic attacks have come from restful states.

i was on diazapem for many years and amitryptline but after have a good few years i gradually came of them

use diazapem occasionally at night and kalms (herbal for anxiety) during the day

i just panic when hubby says last ecg was fine but i know it was 3.5 years ago and bloods all fine dec 2012

i think deep down i am having a relapse after sich a great time for a while but we all know that it sometimes feels even greater as we have been panic free for a while

But i also know we also all think - what if it IS this time

thanks

Oh, sweet friend, I think you hit the nail on the head!

Deep down- you know you are probably having a relapse. But, I just said yesterday (as I am in a bad blip after two months of feeling better than I did even before my breakdown) that accepting the anxiety cycle this time almost seems even more bitter, because I deep down hoped maybe I had beaten it for good- forever. There have been many threads from Fishmanpa and Tanner40 that would be great reading for you right now.

Might be a good idea to plan a visit to your GP- not for assurance about your heart as much as to chat about your possible relapse and how you can get a grip on it pronto.

There is also a free online CBT course offered here under the "therapy" forum.
