At the minute"because of the time" i am so tense and suffering again with the night panic where you nod of to sleep wke up feeling "blank" after say 10 mins adrenalin kicks in because i don't know what day etc then on come the old palpatations till i get it together . Why why why??????? Suz x

Progesterone is higher at this time too and can affect breathing rates and anxiety levels.

We have surges of hormones at this time and an unusual mix of hormones and these are what can increase our anxiety levels.
