panic and anxiety while sleeping

recently ive been so tired all the time, and when i do go to sleep i can only sleep for about 10 minutes before i go into panic in my dreams/feel like im goign to faint, which forces me to try and open my eyes and wake myself?? does anyone else experience this?? and what can i do  

Hope this hasn't been going on too long for you.   You really need to talk to your Dr about your anxiety and he can help you get thru this.   

Are you taking any meds at this time? If so you may need to have those checked out. Oddly enough some sleep meds actually have the opposite affect on me. Once after waiting hours for it to work I decided to take another. Later I didn't know if I was asleep and dreaming it or if I actually was awake and experiencing this.  I felt I was lying in my bed awake but completely paralyzed.  I could not move I could not speak and i was terrified. I thought for sure I had OD'd and was going to die and I couldn't do anything about it. Never ever again did I take more than was prescribed.  I went back to the doctor and was given something else that did work. So definitely go see your doctor.

Thank tou, I definitely will x
