Is this normal

Panic attack woke me up out of my sleep ...the worst panic attack I ever had

Hi JozelynKelly01,

Take deep breaths and slow down your breathing, if you have some Benadryl you can take one to help you sleep I use it when I have a hard time going to sleep. If you can't fall back asleep try to do something to keep your mind from going into panic. Read a book, watch a video, listen to music just try to stay calm and remind yourself that this is all part of it! You are not alone! 😊

I was in your position last week, and I am so sorry you have experienced this. I agree with levymaria, do whatever you can to take your mind off it, but don't worry about having a good cry too - it's such a shock to wake up like that, and sometimes a good weep gets rid of the residual tension. Hope you feel better soon.

Unfortunately yes...the first panic attack I ever had started while I was sleeping.
