Ten panic attacks every night I can't sleep at all

Sleepless nights, hours and hours to get to sleep and you don't even know of you've slept, strange dreams, muscle tension in chest and back, feeling Evey heart beat, dark circles under your eyes, tired but can't sleep. It is draining. Thanks for the video

Someone needs to find a cure, besides xanax, breathing techniques, temporary distraction etc. I used to ride my bike alot even on hills, up til a year ago I was working with a steady job, hung with my friends at least a few times a month then I left the job due to changes in Feb 2019. Took a little break applied again months later then covid bit and it's come back hard tvis year. I've had it aince 2007, had good and bad years in between or I feel like I'm back at square one, I get yhem more often...i hate it.

It always happens to me within 1.5- 2 hours of falling asleep. I suddenly wake up, sometimes not even knowing who I am, with fast heartbeat and trembling from the inside out. I feel the urge of standing up, and there’s when the panic kicks in. I feel claustrophobic, like trapped in my body. Everywhere I look triggers me more panic. Feel like if I want to escape but I can’t. Feels like the feeling is going to last forever. No coping mechanism works. Feels like I can’t see, but I can see. Feels like eternal suffering. But then it goes away, and I feel stupid. However, it becomes my greatest fear to go to sleep. I can control and avoid anxiety and panic attacks while awake. I learned to do it without medications, since I was 11 years old. But I can’t control it when it happens while I’m asleep. It’s horrifying. It’s like im not part of my body and everything I look makes me suffer, even my hands. I hope everyone gets healthier and happier by the day.

When I told my mom, she called the Paramedics and I got even more scared. The Paramedics were nice though, and they gave tips what to do, and how to get better. I didn’t go to the hospital, so I am glad. THE WORST NIGHT EVER.

I hate this feeling so fucking much. Some nights even when I'm having a nice normal dream, it changes suddenly to a horrifying nightmare and it makes me wake up feeling like I'm being chased by some killer or demon-- or I'm just slowly falling asleep and then PAM I wake up scared shitless for no reason at all. I really was ashamed to comment this to my parents because I thought it was something weird or unbelievable, but seeing so many people that's suffering or suffered the same thing makes me feel at ease. I hope we all can find a solution for this.

I have experienced a few panic attacks while i am sleeping and honestly the most scary part for me about this is going to bed with that fear of not knowing weather you will be sleeping through the night or ending up a wake and so scared that something is really wrong with you and still trying to let yourself understand that everything your body is feeling is controlled by your mind and try not to run to the hospital everytime you feel like you can't breath or you feel dizzy and your chest feels tight and it like your brain feels to big for your head sometimes i just feel safer if there is someone sleeping next or close to me just in case something is actually wrong

You can sit on a chair and do it. Inhale and exhale slowly. Feel your mind-body relaxing. Read the benefits of alternate nostril breathing on Google search. Negative thoughts will reduce. Shyaaam Sir, Mentor. Make meditation a daily habit.

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! Ive been having panic attacks for a few years now. My dad passed away last year and then every night/ early morning when i woke up I felt my head spin by every movement I was scared to get out of bed because I was immediately very dizzy.... I have EXACTLY the same thoughts like you describe... my heart goes insane and i start to shake... trying to breathe calmly doesnt help. I am very conscious about what i eat and i am generally healthy. But my mind is constantly analyzing...if a panic attack happens, im scared to go back to bed in a fear it ll happen again. I measure blood pressure, it does spike up to 137/90 but then it calmed down after a few minutes of restless sitting. It freaks me out, especially because i do sleep well and i wake up in panic..... i feel helpless :( I noticed they happen more often if i dont move so much and I do get angry and frustrated...I noticed I get angry often, do you think I need to slown down more? I get easily aggitated and cannot take much mentally...I really appreciate your help. Seems like you had the exact same experience. I get worried I have a weird disease and there is no one to help... :( thank you so so much

Everytime I'm anxious, I watch your videos.

I had a panic attack whilst I was asleep which obviously woke me up. I immediately called for an ambulance because I thought I was having a heart attack. I was kind of asleep but aware that I was coughing really strongly like I had something in my throat. I woke up on my back (I don’t sleep on my back) extremely groggy, my whole body felt like I was swimming in the deepest ocean as i felt 20 times heavier. My heart was pounding out of my chest and my arms were tingling. Later on I calmed down and of course the symptoms went away but I was shaky for a few days after.

I’ve been having nocturnal panic attacks every so often throughout my life from a young age and they would get to the point of me forgetting what was happening around me and saying things that don’t make sense, along with waking up in different places in my house. It’s as if my brain is rushing and flashing while my body is cold and tingly. Feels like running in mud/sand/water from impending doom but it never comes so all you can do is brace for impact and watch as life is flash before you. I’ve been having them consistently for the past two months now and at this point I’ve had more nights with attacks then those without. I’ve never really had a panic attack in the day(unless you count getting very ill before a test out of fear of failure)

My heart was beating so fast and I could feel every beat extremely loud. I didn’t even know what was going on but just assumed that I was going to have a heart attack. Managed to wake myself up, turn on the lights and watch a few KZread videos and that was the only way to calm myself down. This was only three minutes ago or so, I’m calm now.

This started for me 3 years ago when my dad was diagnosed with cancer and has ramped up this year since his passing. I’m glad to have a name for this. I try to do yoga and mindfulness and consciously I’m fine, but something in my subconscious is deeply unsettled.

WHY DIDN’T I FIND THIS EARLIER I COULD GAVE GOTTEN WAY BETTER SLEEP!!!

I sometimes wake up out of nowhere with a numbing tingling feeling all over my body, rapid heart rate and feeling like something terrible will happen very soon. Been dealing with this for a long time, so relieved to know i am not alone because they truly are scary and make you think that you’re losing your mind because it makes you think of death a lot which is misery. Only way i found to combat this terrible feeling is fighting it by keeping my eyes shut and not moving. Works well up until my heart palpitates then i just go full on jumpy and start thinking of the worst things ever 😭

I've woken up shivering and cold. Can't move because I'm shaking ...I reach over for long pants and more blankets. Horrible feeling. I pray for anyone out there feeling like this. Just breath and go into an open room. For me it is my livingroom 🙌🙌

I had a panic attack and felt as if a demon was possessing me, I felt a mix of terror and anger as if I'd go crazy acting weird like if I was about to run away feeling hot flashes and chills at the same time on my chest and back and having a sense of detachment. I hope it was a panic attack.

I woke up this morning with a panic attack and it was the worse because I felt stuck or frozen… and then I felt really tired. I noticed my heart race. Now I can’t go back to sleep but I got plenty of sleep, now I’m just kinda exhausted as if I never really slept but i know I’ll get better. I feel safe knowing I’m not going through tough times alone. I don’t wish this on anyone, but if your dealing with this just know it gets better ❤️ hope we all heal !

Everynight I talk to my mom and then I start to worry and worry and then cry and I couldn't breath, thank you

This happens occasionally to me at night. Its like a lay there or wake up at night and start sweating, having fast heart beats and hyperventilating. All of a sudden everything around me starts shaking. It's like nothing but a pen drops then all a sudden it causes a giant earthquake. I'm usually sitting there in tears praying for it to go away.

I've experienced something, I have no idea if it was a panic attack. I don't know what it was, but it was the strangest feeling I've ever felt. I was in Germany, can't remember much about what happened that day exactly and what probably caused it but I remember I was sleeping and in the night I woke up absolutely terrified. I am not the guy to be scared easy, I'm not scared of being alone, of sleeping in a new house (yes, it was a new house I was sleeping in, we just rented it), I am not afraid of walking in complete darkness and things like that. But what happened that night was at least strange, I felt like I was watched, like there is some presence in the house I could not see, I was feeling so cold I cannot explain the exact feeling, I was realising that what was happening is not usual and I've tried to calm myself down. I am an smoker and I remember I was trying so hard to get out in the garden for an cigarette but I was afraid of getting out, I was shaking and I was moving my head left & right, to check every direction. Finally, after a few minutes of fighting this at least weird feeling, I've build up my courage I know I always had and I got out to smoke, but I can not forget that night.

To you reading this right now... you are beautiful. Everything will work itself out. Everyone here knows how you feel right now. This feeling sucks, but know that you will be be ok. This too shall pass...Don’t fight the anxiety, just allow it to work it’s way through.

I wake during the night with an adrenaline rush like someone screaming FIRE! I would wake up dizzy or with vertigo. A REAL nightmare! Thoughts create our reality and what you think in the day will influence your night because what you don’t deal with in the day comes out at night because there is nothing to suppress it. If all this happens from your thoughts then it’s only your thoughts that can heal you. Don’t run, hide, or do meditation, think it through and figure out where your problem (cause) lies and deal with it.

I think I had a panic attack last week, but the strange thing was that it happened while I was sleeping. At first I thought I'd had the worst nightmare ever, but after googling some I think I had a nocturnal panic attack. Before I fell asleep that night I had been very paranoid and much more anxious than usual. I have anxiety, but that night was especially bad and I was worried that someone was going to break into my room through my window and kill me. Once I fell asleep, I slept pretty restlessly feeling like I was only half asleep some of the night. I also had 5 dreams, all of which I remembered, which was very unusual for me, but I'm not sure if that has to do with anything or not. I was in the middle of a very mundane normal dream, when all of the sudden, everything went a darker black than I thought possible, I started breathing very fast and my heart was beating like I'd run a marathon. I felt like someone was in my bed standing over me and like I was going to be attacked or die. I tried to scream, but couldn't. I tried to open my eyes or move, but I couldn't. I think I was only stuck like this for less than a minute, but it's hard to remember time. When I was able to open my eyes, my breathing and heart were still extremely fast, and I just felt like I had to survive. I ran to my lightswitch to turn the lights on, and looked under my bed, and in my closet even though I knew there was really no one there. I gradually calmed down, drank some water, and looked at the clock to see it was 3am. I convinced my self to turn the lights back off, and read my book for a while to take my mind off it. I was able to fall asleep after that because I was honestly to exhausted to be scared, and tried to force myself to not think about it. The next night, I was scared to fall asleep, but I just cleared it from my mind and tried not to think about it until I could fall asleep. I haven't really been scared to fall asleep since then, but I do still sometimes thing about it in the back of my mind and get nervous that it will happen again. I'm sure no one cares about it, but it felt really good writing this. I didn't even know it was a thing until I had one.

My anxiety is bad when it’s day (I’m always alert) but at night thoughts come rushing through my head so I sleep under the covers but i always feel like I’m not safe and start curling up in a ball not being able to move with fear it’s horrible I have anxiety at school because when I am left alone in a room (going to the bathroom or detention) etc basically I get bad bad anxiety and attacks when I’m alone) so all day I try to skip those parts of the day I can’t be home alone too I get anxiety when I with people but it’s not as bad then but I still get attacks

For anyone watching this who has panic attacks 2 things I've learned may help you stay calm. Absolutely under no circumstances check your blood pressure when you are experiencing this. Over this past 10 days I've checked mine so much and it seemed to rise higher and higher every time. I decided I wasn't checking anymore. Guarantee that is adding to what's going on. #2 don't check your pulse right away. Most of you can feel your heart beating and you know it's fast but focus 100% on being calm. Breathe deep, if able, sit up or get into a recliner chair and try to relax. After a while check your pulse. If you check it within 5 or 10 minutes of waking up and it's high it will only stress you out so much and will definitely elevate your pulse even more. It is a snowball effect. In a panic lots of things you do can make things worse. Try hard to breathe, relax, get a piece of paper and write down what you are experiencing and be detailed. Kind of journal like. Those things helped me now. Hopefully they help you too

If you think that you are having a heart attack it will make things worse and actually give you symptoms of it. Talk to yourself and tell yourself to be calm. Sit and write out how you feel and what you are experiencing. You have to use your conscious mind to overpower your subconscious mind. Breathe as deep as you can. Your subconscious mind will be overreacting and telling you the worst. You have to think with your manual mind to calm yourself down. That's the only way I've found that works.

I have been watching for a while now as you know. I am panic attack free, not entirely stress free, but I have virtually no symptoms anymore. Still have tension headaches, but it is manageable. For me, it was a mental path. I had to realize that the panic attacks were related to anxiety, and the anxiety were related to stress. You need to identify what it is that you are subconsciously trying to avoid, and do what needs to be done to complete that task or overcome that stress, and you will notice immediate relief. The symptoms will return, but revisiting that victory will help, and each subsequent "win" will reduce the stress. It takes a while, but results can be immediately felt. You need these quick wins to keep motivated for the long journey of recovery.

It is not able to be resolved as unable to speak to the person, my son, as he is grieving for his baby son and has distanced himself from me so I am feeling a double loss. I think we will come together again one day but until then I am suffering so badly with anxiety and can't see how I can recover until this situation is resolved by which time I feel my body will give up as in high state of anxiety all the time as so scared of losing my son. He has made if clear he doesn't want to see me or talk to me as he is not coping with his own grief. I feel his pain so badly too. I am so lost and beaten down with horrific anxiety day and night.

That is so awesome! Well done! I agree with everything that youve said. It is crucial to understand the connections of stress and panic. Understand that the symptoms are being triggered because you are stressing out about something and not the other way around. Get to know your body and how it reacts to stress. Trace back the steps in panic and figure out what has lead you to this state. After calming down, deal with the stressor and avoid piling them up. Build a routine, losen tension and for many that is the way to go for longterm recovery

All you can do during these times is to support them in whatever way possible. If that means giving your son space, then you should do that. One thing you can do to make yourself feel better is to write in a journal all the little snippets of things you want to say to him, and then once you feel like you've gotten it all out there, put together a well written letter. This will keep your mind focused on improving the situation that is causing you stress. A short term solution that can produce a "win". In the mean time, when you are waiting for a response from your son, try to think of other things you can do to help him cope, this is something you can do to help that doesn't require you to interact with him. Not a complete answer, but should help you get started!

I don’t know if this is a panic attack but sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night with my heart racing and I feel so confused and disoriented. My mind races but it’s only about a specific subject like running or painting or something like that. I was on a cross country team and the night after a race I would have these and I would wake up all disoriented and scared. The thoughts don’t make sense either. It’s like a ton of abstract images and random words all pop into my head at the same time. I’ve had problems with anxiety my whole life and this used to only happen once in a while but it’s happening way more often now and it’s freaking me out.

Are we same? Because while i sleeping i will suddenly wake while my heart beats is fast and weird feeling on head and chest, we're not same like yours, mine is from movie. I just watch my fav movie on laptop titled avatar, after i watch that movie i go to sleep. While i sleeping i dreaming that im on avatar, and every minute i was suddenly wakr again. Idk what is this, i experience this sometimes if i have a problem. But i sure that i have anxiety and depression. Are we same? Hope you can respond...

I do have so many fears but having an stroke is the biggest, the belief system is so strong, that I can't argue with myself, I feel 24*7 anxiety, by the way it's 5:41 in the morning, and i never sleep in nights, its so horrified.

My main fear is to stay alone how shall I overcome it?

Its difficult for me to answer these very specifc questions. Cause my way was a very general approach to overall anxiety recovery. It has helped me overcome every fear no matter how broad or specific it was.

You could adopt a dog/cat and sleep with them. If it does not work, run for help, we don't have to overcome fear or anything alone.

Same I fear being alone

Twice now, at 5am on both occasions, I wake up and my head feels really light and my stomach feels woozy :/. I hope this isn't a regular thing.

I recently tested positive for COVID-19, and although my symptoms are mild, I've been so worried about my elderly parents who've recently begun showing symptoms. My father is immunocompromised, too. For the past two nights since I've found out about them, I've had nocturnal panic attacks. Thank you for this informative video and thank you commenters for letting me know I'm not alone. ❤️
