Just had a panic attack n anxiety attack, just laid watching a dvd wen all of a sudden the weirdness of like flashes flash across me and my chest, I instantly grab my wrist to check my pulse! My heart felt like it was really slow that it was gunna stop, cudnt feel a pulse in my wrist! Panic even more! So rush my hand up to feel the pulse in my neck, get a weak pulse, up and fly out of bed straight into the bathroom there I feel so weird like I'm not in the real world, then I feel this almighty pressure in my head like sumone is pushing me down, realise nothing is gunna happen to me..calm down a bit heart racing phew..wot a couple of minutes, I feel drained now. Anyone else care to share who r up at this time of nite or shud I say morning? Thanks for listening to my rant! But I'm so cheesed off just wen I thought I cud settle down n have a gud nites sleep but ohhh nooo mrs panic anxiety strikes again!!!

Hi hope your feeling ok now, its terrible when it happens just as your ready for bed, this also happens to me a lot when I am relaxed and ready for sleep I think its because I'm over aware with my breathing and pulse etc .. I hope u can settle down and finally get some sleep x

yeah i seem to get most of my attacks now just before sleep, i agree with cluck i think its because your more aware of your body, just try and remember that you are having a panic attack and you can get through this.
