Nocturnal panic attack

[kbizzack]

I went to bed at 9:30 last night. Around 10:30 i woke up ripping the blanket off of me. I felt like i was gonna pass out. Pounding heart, felt bresthless. It lasted a few minutes but so scary. Has anyone else ever experienced this????

I felt like that not long ago...I got up with aniexty though so I took my pill which I only use when I have that feeling of aniexty its called oxyzepam and went back to sleep...

Yes all the time it takes me forever to calm down but after that I'm ok!

Ihave had minor nocturnal attacks. Id jolt awake, suddenly feeling like I could not breathe. it would not last long, maybe 30 seconds. But once, I got them I think five times in a single night. I have not had the for almost 3 months. The day I stopped worrying about them, the day they ceased to continue.

Hi kb ohhhh yup had those so you are not alone there. It's usually because you've bern dreaming of something and your body thinks it's real so you end up running or something in your dream. Had it where I've paced the floor for hours trying to calm down from one of these things. Not had them for a while now until last night ...they are not very nice. Hope you rest well tonight

I have experienced something like that. I was dreaming that I was talking to my son and he told me about his Mum's new boyfriend.

In the dream when I woke up my heart was beating, I felt great sadness and somewhat panic that another man may be holding my Son.

In reality this is something I am really scared about but I guess it it going to happen.
