Help Please: I have panic attacks in my sleep

14 years ago 0 +0 / -0 6252

Hello Dc2003

I lived with this same thing for a number of years and although it doesn't happen any more I can still remember the terror. But I didn't calm right down. I can remember pacing outside triing to calm down and cool down. The longest that the terror ever lasted was three hours. Most of the time they were from 15 minutes to an hour and I usually needed a beta blocker to slow down my pulse. The worst part is when they started to happen every night (usually at 2:30 in the morn) I was scared to go to bed. I got to the point where I would fall asleep in my chair and be there till the panic attack passed. I was on medication and I couldn't get off it till I found out that I had a problem absorbing calcium, after that with the help of a few herbals I've managed to kick the pills and the worst of the panic. No more terror in the middle of the night. I still get panic but it is mild and usually asociated with agoraphobia or I forgot to take the Calcium. This thing you have is curable as you will see if you follow the program and think posative. The thing is that people get cured and then you don't hear from them again instead of shouting to the world how good it feels. I presume that you have checked to see if there is an underliing medical reason for this to happen.

Hang in there and keep us posted. It helps to write about it.

Good Afternoon to everyone,

I only found this site yesterday afternoon and already I am impressed with the help and assistance it offers.

I am currently progressing through stage one but wondered if anyone else had the same problem as myself?

I am woken during the night suddenly with utter terror and a flight response which means I dive out of bed, heart pounding,

completely disorientated and frightened, convinced I am going to die. I have had this problem for many years and assumed it

was an adult version of Night Terrors. Then only yesterday I came across your site and now I am wondering if it is actually a panic

attack.

As you can imagine, it is quite dangerous and I just run, then stop and try and understand what is happening and calm down usually

at the door to my bedroom. The worst time was when I actually fell down the stairs some years ago.

Maybe a baby gate might help!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Best wishes to all

Kind regards
