It does sound like you have nocturnal panic. I hope this video helps you 🙏❤️

I actually had almost this exact thing happen to me last night, that was what lead me to google it and see this video.

Yes this happens to me all the time, it's really scary and really hard since my heart is racing I always think it's a heart attack I used to call 911 but I've learned not to do that anymore. It's rare now.

I've had this at various times since I was a young child. I know exactly what you mean.

I’m so glad I am not the only one! This is what happens to me, but instead of walking, I literally jump up out of bed and begin running before I a even fully awake. It’s so crazy and scary. It was so hard to explain this to doctors, they looked at me as if I was making this up 😕

Thank you for your hopeful message. 🙏❤️

Thank you so muchhhh ♥️🥰

❤️❤️❤️🙏

You are not alone. ❤️

I'm so sorry you dealt with this for so long 😔 but you are not alone

You are not alone. I’ve been suffering from anxiety at night for years. It does get better. Keep going!

3 years for me almost now with these nocturnal panic attacks. I used to have then in the day so so many..I got over it then it switched to night time..not fair because I have no control. They just wake me up full blown panic

You are not alone. I hope you are doing well❤️

I am sorry you went through that. I hope you sleep well tonight. We treat nocturnal panic by treating the panic disorder during the day with interoceptive exposures. I have a panic course that walks you through the process of that treatment if you are interested at www.paigepradko.com/panic

Thank you so much, you perfectly described what it feels like. How are you doing nowadays?

Thank you for sharing your experience, Michelle. I am sure you will help many. 🙏😊

I am so sorry that happened to you. I hope that following the suggestions in the video help you.

I as well, just had my first one and thought I was having some sort of stroke or heart issue of some kind.. my heart was pounding and I couldn’t catch my breath. :( I have been struggling with severe anxiety as of lately with the events that have been happening in my life. So I’m sure that didn’t help..

I am so sorry that you have this experience every night. Try to give yourself a message that you can jump awake as often as needed, as long as the panic wants to come, you are fully welcoming the panic if that is what your brain wants to do. Now, I know that sounds crazy. But, your brain is most likely panicking because you have conditioned yourself to be afraid of this very reaction. So, your brain thinks you are in danger and therefore tries on purpose to wake you up to save your life. Take an opposite approach. Give your brain the message that panic can come and go as it pleases, it is okay with you and you are not alarmed by the panic at all. I hope this paradoxical method calms your brain down.

@@PaigePradkoTherapy thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me. And thanks for all the great advice. I’m trying to do exactly what you said. And it’s not easy. It’s almost like pressing the gas when you’re about to get into a car accident. It’s hard to live with. But I’m going to therapy and watching your videos helps out more than you know. Thanks again.

This is the same thing I experience, it’s been happening for about 2 months an slowly got worse ,now I get at least 3 a night, I dread going to sleep because I know it’s gonna happen

How are you now?

I can completely relate, the pandemic has done horrible things for my mental health!

I hope you are doing okay, we really are soon going to have normalization. It is coming 🌷🇨🇦❤️

Thank you guys I'm actually finally doing okay now after so long, I started something called biofeedback and it had changed my life teaches you to how to breathe out anxiety

@@sheturnedherpainintoart6956 is it a long process? I’ve had anxiety since September and it’s honestly the worst. I have panic attacks at night and i think I’m having a heart attack or angina even when I know I’m not. My breathing starts to go so bad and I be scared to go back to sleep. If this really works then it will be life changing especially since I’m only 15

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am happy to hear that moving your body has helped you. That is one of the first things I do when I am feeling stressed. Good luck on your work deadline, but, remember to play it down as if it is not all that important so that your brain does not interpret your stress as life threatening and dangerous. Sometimes our brains can take work stress and react to it with a high anxiety or panic response. 😊

That sounds terrifying and I am so sorry that happened. I am so happy the video was helpful.

I am so sorry that you experience this. I hope this video gives you some helpful suggestions and you start to see some improvements.

@@PaigePradkoTherapy it was helpful. Thank you.

Thanks Mizi.

Yes, I would also be concerned that you may have sleep apnea. I would suggest making an appointment with your physician and ask to have a sleep study. This is the only way for a complete diagnosis.

@@PaigePradkoTherapy Thank you very much for your feedback😊

Did you find out? I do this too.

@@tminusliv hi 👋 i hope you are fine. Yeah well it's nocturnal panic. I feel like it's due to years of anxiety suffering, psychological shok or trauma, panic, low self esteem and confidence etc.

Hi Patrick. I often work with people that have a great deal of stress in their lives and different substances like alcohol or benzodiazepines are used in attempts to lower the stress and relax. Unfortunately, there is a rebound effect when these substances wear off, and people can wake up with a spike in their anxiety and their quality of sleep diminishes. I so appreciate your sharing your experience because you are absolutely not alone. Possibly by sharing, you will be inspired and possibly inspire others to begin to make changes that will improve your health and sleep quality. Thank you so much for your comments. 🙏❤️

@@PaigePradkoTherapy Thanks so much for your response! I'm happy to share my own experience. Yes, I unfortunately have a lot of changes that I need to make, and what you say about the rebound effect makes perfect sense. Take care :)

@@drifting202020 hey man just wanted to share my experiences with panic attacks and anxiety because I myself have a problem with alcohol and substance abuse. The first very severe panic attack that I ever had landed me in the hospital after a long night of drinking. I started to see a trend every time I would drink, the following day I’d have a bad panic attack. It ended up becoming a vicious cycle and I would drink to quell the feelings of panic and anxiety. It would work for a little bit, but always come back way worse when the alcohol wore off. So eventually from doing this every day I became physically dependent on the Booz and Xanax. I knew it was time for a change. I ended up in the hospital once again but this time detoxing from benzodiazepines and alcohol. Then went to a 30 day in patient rehab where I worked through a lot of these issues. This was the best decision I ever made. Bottom line, don’t drink if you have anxiety and depression!! It might temporarily relieve your symptoms but you’ll always be chasing that feeling and eventually put you in a bad position. The best advice I can give as someone who’s suffered from this crap since I was 19 (I’m now 28) is; Eat a proper diet, exercise everyday, get a good nights sleep, and avoid alcohol. Also try and learn some techniques to get you through those uncomfortable scenarios when you feel like you’re about to lose it. If I can do it anyone can. Hope all is well and this helps just hearing that you’re not alone in this. You got this 👍🏼

I’m sorry you had that reaction to a medication. It sounds like you are on the right track. 😊

I look forward to hearing what you think. Hope you are well and had a good week, Arjun.

@@PaigePradkoTherapy madam, dont mistake me, its 1:30 midnight here in India.. I have a lot to write wrt the above video here, I will write my opinion in detail tommorow morning.. Arjun..

Hi Oliver. I am so sorry that you experience these. I hope this video helps you.

I am glad that you are having this checked out.

This can be very upsetting when it happens, but, it typically settles down for most people on its own. If you are having these nocturnal panic attacks for more than 2 weeks, I would suggest having a sleep study. I do not recommend medications without knowing what is going on from a sleep study as sleep apnea and other issues need to be ruled out.

It usuaaly come at my initial stages of sleep , instead of doing things to escape I told myself let it cone I will face it . When your fear reduce its intensity also reduce .

That is wonderful. You are giving calming messages to your brain. Thank you for sharing 🙏❤️

Good job working out....that is great exposure for cardio anxiety and it will help with panic. 😊

@@PaigePradkoTherapy it does! But do you have any information on palpitations cause when I get one during a workout I kinda get scared

Palpitations are of course very common, but, some people are more sensitive to them than others. I suggest that my clients get an ok from their healthcare providers to do cardio exercise. Then, we exercise and do exposures with or without the palpitations and accept them as normal.

How do you feel with the rapid heart beating when you're working out

Yes. I absolutely agree.

I am so sorry, Brooke. During the day, you will want to do all of those things that add to a healthy lifestyle like exercise and meditation. If your panic at night continues, you may want to consider a sleep study.

I am so sorry that you experienced that. Unfortunately, it is common to have sleep problems and to have more panic and anxiety symptoms after drinking. Hopefully this will calm down for you tonight and you will sleep better. Thanks for watching and commenting.

You are not alone!! I have experienced it a lot of times.But every time i ended up in hospital.. i dont know when i will overcome this!

I apologize for missing your comment. I hope these have resolved and that you are sleeping better.

That sounds terrible and I am so sorry that you experienced that. What may be happening is what I see in many people with anxiety sensitivity and a combination of health anxiety (somatic symptom disorder) and panic disorder. In these people, they feel movements and changes in their heart intensely and sometimes it can even be painful. Their sympathetic nervous system is activated and then panic symptoms and the heart symptoms become wired together. When this occurs, the brain can trigger a panic attack if it becomes aware of heart changes even if you are sleeping. One way out of this is treatment for health anxiety and panic disorder to rewire the brain while you are awake. If you are interested in help, I have a course and a support group that can help. For more information go to www.paigepradko.com/healthanxiety

@@PaigePradkoTherapy I have developed exactly this. The moment I think I feel a heart palpitation the anxiety kicks in. During the day, this can manifest itself as a minor ghost chest pain just briefly but enough to start a panic attack. Typically controllable during the middle of the day. But I’ve searched and found this video at night as I’ve just recently started to have increasing nocturnal panic attacks. I immediately wake up always nearly 30-45 min after falling asleep with profusely sweaty hands, sit straight up from bed which usually wakes my wife. Once my heart is racing my mind immediately starts racing with thoughts about “why is this happening” and I start to mentally panic reason that it’s my blood pressure, my blood sugar, I start eating things or drinking milk. I think something is going on with my heart, ie, a stroke or heart attack condition. I then like clockwork start having an extremely debilitating anxiety attack and start trembling and shaking uncontrollably, my left arm goes numb first so it makes me think more about a stroke but I can squeeze very firmly. Then my lips start to vibrate, my feet start dripping sweat along with my hands, my right arm gets vibratingly tingly and a bit numb and by then something about eating and drinking a bit of sugar seems to slow it down, though this can rear back up for 2-4 hours. I went to get blood testing and things done several years ago for normal daytime anxiety but the nocturnal stuff only started happening as recently as 6 months or so ago. I feel that maybe I should get some form of heart and blood pressure monitoring device because my fear would only be alleviated immediately if I know it’s in my head. My fear stems purely from thinking I’m possibly having a cardiac event. I cut back stimulant use like too much caffeine thinking caffeine was mainly the culprit and also quit using cannabis thinking it was the main culprit but my attacks have gone on unabated. I should also mention I’ve been in a very high stress engineering career but the past few years all forms of work and world stress are triggering it. At this point I think it’s become a bad panic disorder but I am not willing to take Klonopin or Xanax or something for this. Strenuous exercise fixes it for me and it seemingly ramps up in the winter.

Zach, I am so sorry. I understand well the panic disorder that has evolved to include health anxiety, as this is a condition that I specialize in treating. Many clients are referred to me from a group of cardiologists because it is a common phenomenon of believing the heart pain and palpitations are indications of a serious cardiac event. When in fact it is panic disorder. The worried thoughts and checking bodily symptoms and searching for reassurance all feed the health anxiety cycle. The nocturnal panic is an indication that your brain has now associated certain bodily sensations with your fight or flight response. All of this can be helped, but you will need to do very specific treatment. If you would like help, I have an online course and an accompanying support group that can help you. You can find more information here www.paigepradko.com/healthanxiety.

@KRAZEEIZATION wow. Your situation sounds EXACTLY like mine. Mine also began in 2019. I used Zoloft for almost two years and stopped because it didn’t seem to help, and I have continued to use Ativan as needed for severe episodes. All the other details that you described could have been written by me. For what it’s worth, I will tell you that applying a washcloth soaked in cold water to my face has helped in the middle of the worst attacks in the night, and drinking magnesium citrate has almost eliminated my troublesome heart palpitations. I hope that you are doing better now too. Blessings.

@@loriblair2658 Thank you my sister in Anxiety!

Hope you had a better rest last night.❤️

no need to worry its just our thoughts which makes us axeious and it effects our body I just wakeup with anxiety and took Bath and relaxing now

anxiety is really scary but god helps us

It sounds like your method is working. Sometimes our brains can anticipate a change in bedrooms and can wake you up to make that change. But, whatever works when it comes to sleep (as long as substances are not involved) is my motto. 😊

That sounds terrible…I am so sorry you are dealing with that. I would recommend working on panic disorder symptoms when you are awake, as this has shown to help the is order when sleeping as well.

YEP same, i got it from getting drunk all the time and coming home late

I apologize for missing your comment. Yes, alcohol can affect sleep. I hope you are sleeping better these days.

That sounds terrible. I am so sorry that you are going through that. It does sound like you are having nocturnal panic. I hope that some of the suggestions in the video help you.

I have the same symptoms, the paranoia is the worst I think from sleep delrrivation, mix that with anxiety and things get bad.. I cut out fat and insoluble fiber, chocolate and junk too. Had helped me sleep. Do I get one at all?

I am so sorry yo have to deal with that, you will find a path through it and be stronger than ever before! Your day will come🇨🇦😊❤️

Hi Aida. I am sorry that you have gone through this. But, I have to say that I love the ironing idea. You are trying your best to give your brain messages that you are safe by ironing…because who irons if they are in danger. I love it! Thanks for sharing 🙏❤️

Our brain tries so hard to keep us safe, but sometimes it gets things wrong and sounds the alarm in error. Try looking around the bedroom at night and say out loud that the temperature is just perfect and you are so comfortable and feel so safe. I am just curious if your brain will settle down if you go through that exercise.

I am so sorry that happened to you. I am sure that your doctor will want to rule out sleep apnea as well. It sounds like it was terrifying. I hope you have a better sleep tonight. If it continues, I do recommend interoceptive exposures during the day to retrain your brain that you are safe.

@@PaigePradkoTherapy thankyou Paige I had to take a bit of benzo last night as it started again at midnight from the trauma the night before. (Easter night) then i rang my mum and talked to her for a little while. As my heart started to race but i got it under control. the hardest thing is not being able to breathe so so scary. So i had a good sleep. Woke about 4.30 am then just went back to sleep as could see the sun rising thru the curtain. It's so so scary

@@PaigePradkoTherapy do you have a link to this interoceptive exposures please?

Here is the link on how to do interoceptive exposures. This is the recommended treatment for panic disorder and one that I do with my clients. You can begin the exposures doing the exercises with someone and eventually working up to doing the exposures alone: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o9CKm5Z2sMXZf3k.html.

Yes, absolutely. One really needs a sleep study to diagnose this condition.

Yes, my nocternal panic attacks were due to severe sleep apnea. I'm on cpap now, but they haven't fully resolved.

I of course cannot diagnose over KZfaq. But when our brain is in fight or flight, the blood moves to our major muscles, and other parts of the body can feel numb. This is a normal anxiety response and nothing to fear…but I certainly understand that waking up like this can be confusing. If this continues, you may want to get a sleep study for a diagnosis.

Oh no. That sounds like a nightmare.

Thank you for sharing your story. At some level, our brains can become afraid when we are sleeping. Although, it is less common to have these when sleeping and not when awake. I experienced this on several occasions as well. Being as nonreactive as possible is helpful after the attacks, as well as a healthy lifestyle including exercise and meditation during the day.

Hi Nancy. I am so sorry that you are dealing with this. I honestly do not know if MS is causing nocturnal panic to flair up. My best guess is that you unintentionally have anxiety associated with going to sleep after experiencing nocturnal panic. I do suggest seeing a physician and having a sleep study. You need to have good quality sleep to not flair MS.

I am so sorry, Saralye. That sounds frightening.

I am so sorry. This can condition can cause people to begin to become more anxious when sleep time approaches. I hope that my suggestions on the video begin to help you.

Thank you and I’ve been taking gabapentin and it helped me. I have mini ones if I even have ones now. Thankfully 🙏🏾

Hi Christopher. I am so sorry that you went through that. Panic can be horrible. But, it is important to not tell yourself messages about fearing having another. Instead, tell yourself that you are okay and if panic and anxiety want to come…it is fine with you. Welcome the panic and welcome the anxiety and use phrases like “bring it on”. If you fear anxiety and panic, the brain can create an anxious response and cause you to actually go into a fight or flight mood. We have to give our brains the message that we’ve got this…..no problem…bring it on. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d8V-d8KH3Mrammw.html

Yes, it is awful. Sorry you experienced that.

You’re welcome 🙏❤️

You are so kind. ❤️

I am so sorry you are going through this. There are a few possibilities here and of course I cannot rule out all of those possibilities on KZfaq. In people with panic disorder, their brains can associate different bodily sensations like a rapid heart beat with their fear response. This can happen automatically when they sleep or when awake. An increased heart rate or other bodily sensations can initiate a panic attack. It is possible to also have a thought while you are lying in bed…and actually activate your anxiety and fear response from your thought and initiate the panic unintentionally through your thoughts. There is treatment and that involves exposures and being non reactive to your anxiety and panic and even your increased heart rate thereby retraining your brain that you are safe.

Hi Ashley. I am so sorry that you lost your client and that you are having these problems with sleep. It does sound like nocturnal panic but it is difficult to diagnose without a sleep study. I am hoping that these fade away and that you sleep better soon.

That’s wonderful…good job 😊

I am so sorry you are going through that. Working on panic during the day also helps the panic at night. Hoping this calms down for you.

Same here. IS this ever going to end.

Sounds terrible 😢 Hope these have stopped for you.

It is possible that you were experiencing high anxiety symptoms. Do your best to be welcoming and not give your brain any messages that you are fearful. I hope this calms down.

@@PaigePradkoTherapy thankyou for answering it certainly helps me I actually live in constant fear I don't know why but I'm trying my best to deal with it.

@@PaigePradkoTherapy thank you :) I will definitely check it out!

Hi Jack. It is fairly common to experience bouts of high anxiety and panic after withdrawing from substances that had calming affects. The same thing can happen after alcohol withdrawal. Hopefully this will die down for you in time. Give your brain time to readjust.

Sometimes it takes many exposures before you can notice a drop in anxiety. More recent research suggests that as long as you are doing Exposures and Response Prevention, your brain is learning and creating new neuropathways. Try your best to keep up the response prevention during, after and between exposures. Sometimes people can sense that their brain is learning during an exposure...this is what we want. And shift your focus to tolerating anxiety instead of lowering anxiety.

Thank you very much for your response. I find trains and plains and new places extremely hard to be in.

@@PaigePradkoTherapy Thanks so much 🙏 I will be trying this out tonight or tomorrow for sure! ☺️

I am sorry, Harold. You have been through a lot this year. If you are able, you will want to rule out sleep apnea and GERD if you are waking up choking and coughing. If it is panic disorder, you will want to treat it with interoceptive exposure exercises during the day.

I am so sorry, Zana. Do you have panic attacks during the day?

@@PaigePradkoTherapy no I don't

I am so sorry you are going through that. Your brain senses things even when you are asleep. It sounds like if something is off…and your brain detects that there is no fan noise…it wants to alert you by activating your nervous system through fight or flight response. Think of this problem as something that your brain has misinterpreted and now you will have to slowly teach your brain that you are safe and you are not alarmed even when you wake up in a panic. As soon as you are awake…act as if you are not concerned at all so that your brain learns in that moment.

@@PaigePradkoTherapy Thank you for the advice 🙏. I will take this on board, I think i should try and tackle it, I am avoiding it in a way. I just got used to having a fan on, for years now at one point it was on 24/7.. now I use it to sleep at night only. Also I used to fall asleep with the TV on alot aswel. So now I have a led light an the fan going at night to sleep. It is winter so I use a fan sound on KZfaq. I think it really started after the car crash as part of the ptsd. I could not stand the silence an darkness and having light an sound being used to it and finding comfort in it, I have no issues. I havnt had one in a couple months as I try to always have my fan going and the small light all night.

@@PaigePradkoTherapy thank u so much!

I am so sorry. That sounds so horrible. It does sound like it is trauma related and that your brain still believes you are in danger. Our brain tries to keep us awake if it believes we are under attack. I hope that you are able to get help from a therapist, perhaps a trauma therapist to help you heal, ❤️

I am so sorry you are going through this. If sleep apnea has been ruled out and you are sure this is nocturnal panic, I have a course that treats this condition. Here is a link: www.paigepradko.com/panic

Those are great questions and conditions that certainly add to one’s anxiety and bodily sensations of stress. Conditions that increase the likelihood, frequency or intensity of daytime panic disorder most likely will also increase nocturnal panic.

Those are the symptoms of nocturnal panic. Of course they are officially diagnosed in a sleep study. But, if you never had one before, it will likely not occur regularly. Hope you sleep better tonight.

@@PaigePradkoTherapy thank you very much for your replying on my comment! I really appreciate it! Thank you ❤️

That sounds horrible. You may want to treat panic during the day by using interoceptive exposures. I have a panic course where I walk you through what to do if this continues.

I am so sorry about your grandmother and how it has affected your sleep. It seems like your brain is trying to process your loss in your sleep. Perhaps journaling and talking about your loss during the day will help your brain consolidate the information and allow you to sleep better at night.

Hi Shaun. That sounds like a terrifying experience. I cannot diagnose someone over KZfaq, but, I strongly recommend that you do a sleep study. This can be ordered by your physician. It may be sleep apnea or nocturnal panic attacks or night terrors. It cannot be fully diagnosed without knowing what stage of sleep this occurs. If it is sleep apnea, it is important that you get this diagnosed and treated.
