Months without an attack. last night was really bad.

Something weird happened last night.

I woke up about 2:20am after having about 4 nightmares in a row.

Felt really sick, dodgy stomach etc

The worst part was uncontrolable shakes for about half an hour.

Do you think its anxiety related?

Palpitations were constantly off the chart.

I thought i had a breakdown in my sleep or sommat.

Thanks.

Hi, This does sound like it's anxiety related and the night mares made it worse. Scary as it was try not to worry. If this happens again try getting out of bed and sitting in a chair and do some deep breathing, have a drink of water, try going back to sleep after about 20 mins, hopefully you will be relaxed and get back to sleep. Hope this helps.

I was amazed i got back to sleep after that.

Use to be i wouldve gone straight to the hospital.

But i thought sod it.

You might had a panic attack in sleep sometimes it happens you dont knowit untill you are up and shaking you are so tired after that so going back to sleep is natural. Take care
