i get panic attacks when i sleep too, but only if something is really troubling me. and in that case i have to talk myself through it or fix whatever is wrong before i can sleep again. i dont think my attacks get that bad, though.

I wake up sometimes having panic attacks. I will get this massive adrenaline rush and wake up gasping for air. I sleep with a fan on so I can focus on the noise or the cool air of the fan which usually helps me fall back asleep. There have been times though where I have had to go to the hospital because I couldnt shake it off and stayed in the panic attack for hours. When I get full blown attacks I can't walk and it feels like my body is vibrating on the inside. I hate when this happens, but I am usually lucky enough to pull myself out of them. I know I wont die now so I try and force myself back to sleep even if I have to do it several times in the same night.

I can relate to that having them while sleeping, to the point it had awaken me up, and I was still having it, and so I was sent to the hospital, then things claimed down.

Thank you for posting this. I thought I was going through something that was so weird no one else
would have experienced it.

The scariest one are when i am sleeping.. I can kinda control the ones when i am awake but if i wake up from sleeping with one.. It take medicine and me trying everything to calm them down.. They dont happen a lot but when they do OMG scary big time..
