I had a couple of times that I would wake up, in the middle of the night, for no reason(at least not that I know of), and having this feeling of fear. My heart would beat faster than normal and I would breathe faster too.As soon as I wake up, my eyes are wide open and the first thing I want to do is look around the whole room. That's what I always do. I had it 3 times in just one week. Is this some kind of alarm or something? Is there something wrong? This really worries me. Tell me what you think, please

I don't know much about this, but you might want to do some research on night terrors.
I don't know if that's what you are experiencing, but it's a start. |

Sounds like an anxiety attack. You could be having some physical problems, maybe even akin to sleep apnea. If you haven't had a check up in a number of months/years, perhaps you should see your doctor. Sleep apnea is a causation of breathing disturbance, which indeed, could make you wake up feel anxious and apprehensive, i.e, "catching your breath."
Good luck. |

Hi,
Thank you for you responses. I looked up something about sleep apnea. If I go to a doctor what will happen? Will they test me or something or wil I get medicines? I will put the things under here the things I notice when having this: - All my senses are suddenly, more active than ever - I am afraid. I have a feeling of threat. - Although my senses are active, I am not fully awake, it's all very vague when I think back of it. I bet I forget it a lot too. - It's in the middle of the night around 2, 3 and 4 o'clock always. - After 2-4 minutes, I am calm again. I can then go to sleep. - It can happen 1 to 2 times a night but does not happen every night. - I am sometimes sleepy over day. Loud noises can shock me in the same way they can when you are almost asleep. I am normally a very deep sleeper. I slept true 2 earthquakes in the past. When I am asleep nothing can wake me up except for this. It's quite disturbing since I need a lot of sleep already. Often 12 hours, which is a whole lot. |

I am not a physician, although in my line of work, I do indeed get to review a great many medical records. Your list of questions are all very good to start a discussion with your family physician. If it is indeed sleep apnea, there are several procedures that a physician will discuss with you.
I wish you well - and sweet dreams! |
