Has any of y'all ever fell asleep and was suddenly woke up by trying to catch your breath??? Is it a panic attack while you're sleeping??

I wake up to this most mornings. Used to freak me out but kind of got used to it. Same happens if I dare try and catch a power nap. Thinks it's related my my anxiety. It is really annoying though as starts my day off with my heart racing.
