I can't sleep.

For about 5 days now, I've woken up every night with some sort of anxiety/panic attack. My heart races so fast that it feels like I'm legitimately having a heart attack. Usually, I go back to sleep and wake up really tired. Tonight, I woke up with another attack and now my legs have gone numb. I can still move them and when I touch them, I feel the sensation but when they're idle, I can't feel them as a part of my body. I've had a problem with leg numbness before when I would go to sleep but my doctor didn't really seem too concerned about it and ruled it off as a side effect of my anxiety medication.

I don't know what I should do. I switched primary care doctors and won't be able to see him until next month. I have a feeling that my anxiety medication isn't working anymore, or hasn't really worked well since I first started it.

I just want to sleep.

I am in the same place. Getting therapy and trying to get meds right. The racing heart is very scary, but breathing exercises help.
