Anxiety attack from not sleeping ?

[Briannafaye1]

Hi everyone, I’ve got an anxiety attack while being in the car ‘ I think it’s because I never got that much sleep last night I stayed up all night because of some personal issues. I went to take a nap for only 5 hours ... so I’m running on 5 hours of sleep , does getting less sleep cause anxiety to do all this? , I couldn’t even breath and my chest and was hurting feeling like my breath was getting sucked out of me & I went all scared and I couldn’t even breath . My anxiety and panic attacks make me feel numb or even feel like I’m talking actually talking , has anyone else had this? :’(

I thought it was just me .... I Notice The More Sleep hours I get the More I feel better .... but if I don’t get any sleep or 5 hrs or less a lot seems to bother .. like the things you said
