Last night I went to bed early as I was feeling really tired, about an hour later I was waking up with the sensation as if I'd stopped breathing and went into full swing panic, when I calmed down I found yes I was breathing and there was nothing to panic about. Anyone else had this?
I have had panic attacks in my sleep too that have woken me up. Not fot a while though.

awww they can be scary cant they x
I have had this a few times too- almost as if I wake up trying to suddenly catch my breath. It scared the Bjaysus out of me too! xx
I had this when my anxiety was at its worst. Thankfully it has now passed, but I remember how awful it was. It made me afraid of going to sleep at a time when I was already suffering from insomnia!
Agreed. I used to ask my ex husband to stay up and make sure I was breathing. On occasion it still happens. Seems more often when my anxiety is high in general. I even had a sleep study, no apnea. Lol
