Recently, I have begun to experience anxiety attacks that take place while I’m sleeping. I am not having them during waking hours, and they don’t seem to be inspired by nightmares. I just wake up with my heart racing, my chest tight, feelings of anxiety that force me to fully wake, etc. I have to stay awake for about an hour to feel better before I can go back to sleep. Why is this happening, and what can I do about it?

Let me show you your 'Roadmap To Wellness'
I get that sometimes. I hate when you almost feel like your on the verge of sleep and it feel slike someone shakes you awake.
I know its kinda weird but my counselor taught me something called EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and it has helped me calm down and get back to sleep when I wake up in a panic.
It has to do with tapping different acupressure points on your body while saying a phrase like “Even though I feel very scared because my heart is pounding I deeply love and accept myself.”
I know it sounds retarded but I was so desperate for relief I was trying anything that might help. I always get horrible side effects from pills but this calmed me down without side effects. Might not want to do it in the presence of others though, I imagine embarrassment might be a side effect then
Check out this youtube clip. there are alot of others around the web too. I think these clips give you enough information for it to be effective without having to buy or sign up for anything. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQp0kA5a5OI
There are a whole lot of different ones on youtube and around the web.
Good luck.
In your sub-conscience you are anxious, that is why you are having them while sleeping, I used to stay up for 2 days, so I could sleep with out being woke up with one. I finally got put on medication and rarely do I have one, haven’t had one in over 2 years. Hope it helps.
