Hi All,
I am new to this forum and relatively new to panic attacks. About two weeks ago while sleeping, I awoke suddenly at 12:30AM, sitting straight up in bed gasping for a breath. As I looked around the room, I felt dizzy and disoriented. I was also consumed with a feeling of fear of impending doom. I hope this is not too heavy for a first posting.
Since then, I have had similar episodes multiple times throughout the night. Right when I am about to fall asleep, I get a shot of adrenaline and it startles me. I finally get so exausted, I fall asleep for a few hours.
Does anyone have any idea what might be going on here?
Thanks in advance for your comments.
Morgan
