Must be more common than i thought This has been happening to me I have had it every now and again but the other night I had it so many times I dont have a clue what it is so can't be much to help but your not alone I went to doctors about it and was told anxiety but if you find out please let me know :)

All the time Julia. It is a scary scary feeling but know you're not alone. I get both the feeling of slow heart and gasp for air.

Mine started when I had my first panic attack. Try to sleep at a slight angle, that has helped me. Do it by lifting the head of your bed, not by putting a ton of pillows under your head.

I also avoid napping on the couch as this is where it happens to me the most. In my angled bed it does not happen as much.


Best wishes

Yeah I had this for a few months intermittently after my first panic attack, but I had an ECG and since then I've had no heart concerns.
