Woke up last night heart pounding sweaty!!

[Sam001]

Last night around 4 am my dad came in my room to ask me a question and I woke up with my heart pounding and sweaty. Very faint feeling

Lasted about 10-15 mins before I could relax.

First time this has happened.

Anyone else ever go through this??

Sounds likely to be anxiety/ dreaming.

Doesn't sound worrying

[Sam001 in reply to Biggles22]

Yeah I'm thinking it was a panic attack or something.

Never happened before at night

So very terrifying experience.

You must learn to relax and control anxiety. Look at mindfulness and progressive muscular relaxation

I have looked up many articles and videos.

Even tried some meds

Nothing seems to be helping at the moment

Checkout Jon Kabat Zin videos and books. It will take a lot of work to get there

Mine randomly started a month ago from a huge panic attack. It's been downhill from there

Why the heck is someone waking you at 4am to ask a question? Waking me out of sleep at 4am would trigger my anxiety/panic as well. Tell dad unless house is on fire write the question on a notepad and leave it on the kitchen table. . . Geesh. . .

Yeah it was terrible.

But I noticed today around the same time I woke up out of nowhere and my heart was pounding a bit but didn't last as long

Tried to calm down and slept.
