I’ve had around ten of these “episodes” in total. They don’t come every night, or even every month (there can be 6 months between them), but they’re really freaking me out.
Here’s what happens:
I’m lying in bed, my eyes closed, trying to calm down and fall asleep. Suddenly my heart starts beating a mile a minute and I get this really strong feeling of panic, dread and fear of death. I can feel my body tense up. But I can stop this by just opening my eyes and taking some deep breaths.
What I’m afraid of is that they could be epileptic seizures, hinting at a brain tumor. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Are they just nocturnal panic attacks or something similar?
