I sit here trying to calm myself down after being woken up dreaming my heart was really thudding I jolted as I woke up. Tried to lay back down but startedto go into a panic attack. I think. I've sat deep breathing and even went out side to calm down. So comming on hear to calm myself down. Not to start waking up every one and tell them it's my heart again. . I'm not going to get back to sleep

Yes you can, I had a panic attack following a nightmare. Well it started while I was still dreaming. And when I woke up I realized I was completely paralyzed for a moment. Very scary experience. Thankfully it didn't happen again though. Yet

What usually helps for me is deep breaths from the nose and out through the mouth whenever I get anxious. Also listening to nature sounds like bird chirps, river sounds, forest winds helps.. I usually put it on through youtube and listen to calm myself down in peace
