Yes sounds like it
This is textbook sleep paralysis; not a panic attack, but can certainly be very scary and panic inducing if you don't realize what's going on.
Yes i do get similar effect out of nowhere like u woke upv confused as to where u r heading ..sometimes too much anxiety over the months can cause this .felt like your heart skipped beating and you tried grasping for anything to get rid of this scary body reaction ..probably sleeping on your hands n your chest is covered by pillow u put to grab and caused u to startle when the heart beat faster...its not a seriuos thing ..relax n calm down be ok
It's sleep paralysis. Are you on meds? My meds cause this. I am on Seroquel.
Not what you're looking for?
