I have night terrors too. My critters won't sleep with me because the screaming freaks them out. My dh is wonderful about it... very comforting when I come out of it to him reassuring me that he is there and everything is ok. I do take a sleeping aid... seroquel... although lately, even that hasn't helped calm the tide. I've never associated it with panic attacks.... but now that you mention it... I guess it is like that. We've just learned to take it in stride, I guess. Have given up on getting rid of them. Is that possible?
