Hi,
I've never had panic attacks. Ever. And I don't have them while out doing errands. These seem to only take place at night when I'm trying to go to sleep.
I'm guessing they are very mild panic attacks. They seem to occur when I'm just drifting off, and I get a kind of terror in my chest that jolts me awake. There seem to be no other symptoms.
I started getting them in our apartment because of the situation with the other tenants downstairs. We moved and the attacks seemed to fade. I began sleeping normally and peacefully.
But the attacks returned 4 nights ago. And I have yet to figure out the cause.
I'm now afraid to try to sleep at night.
Are these panic attacks, or are they something else?
Thanks.
Lisa.
