Weird panic attack when trying to fall asleep?

I was trying to fall asleep and I had the scariest/weirdest panic attack ever. It felt like what I imagine a seizure would feel like? I woke up shaking like crazy and totally disoriented. I didn't recognize where I was or what was going on. my tongue also felt weird. So I bolted out of bed and stood up leaning against something but the whole room was spinning, my heart was pounding and nothing felt real. I yelled to my boyfriend for help, thinking I was about to faint, but I never did and the feeling slowly went away. Now I feel nauseous, dizzy, still kind of unreal and my tongue hurts. I'm really scared.
