Yes it happens out of the blue just go outside walk around or take a hot shower or soak in a hot bath.. if you have anything that will help you sleep take it as directed like night time sleep aid over the counter.. you will be fine drink a warm apple sider drink or warm green tea with out sugar.. relax you will be ok do somthing anything to take your mind off of it ok

Also if you have any vix vapor rub put some on your chest and lower,upper back so you can relax and breathe it in it will relax you just by smelling the sent do that after you take a hot shower let the water run on your back and neck,shoulders ok

Great thank you, i'm really scared of sleeping as well i get these thoughts like if my heart will stop beating..... and i get shortness of breath when i sleep to, this morning i had a dream where i wasn't able to breath so well and when i woke up it was true.... can i have these anxiety attacks while i sleep?

Try to relax as best you can. Take deep belly breaths. 5 seconds in and 5 seconds out. and repeat several times. I find hypnosis tapes really helpful. the voice on the other end is very soothing and the speaker takes you to other worlds deep in your subconscious and guides you through different sensations. It's not easy to focus on anxiety and guided imagery at the same time. Wishing you moments of peace and serenity...

even reading about it makes me feel anxious and i found that drugs like valium etc make it worse in the long run
