Nocturnal Panic Attack Symptoms, Causes & Relief!

Do you suffer from Nocturnal Panic attacks? Here I give you the most common symptoms of a nocturnal panic attack. I also give you some possible causes & panic attack relief. Nocturnal panic attacks usually happen when one is asleep. This can result in shock and a quick jolt. Night sweats, heart palpitations, chills, shaking, tremors, numbness, tingling, increased heart rate, and elevated blood pressure are just a few of the physical symptoms associated with nocturnal anxiety/panic attacks. Some of the mental symptoms of nocturnal anxiety attacks include depersonalization, derealization, shock, irrational thoughts. intense fear, feeling of impending doom. Some of these maybe worst than day time panic attacks because you often only wake up at the height of the panic episode and when your anxiety or stressed is maximized. Some possible causes of night time panic attacks include sleep apnea, GERD, nightmares, and high levels of stress & anxiety. For nocturnal panic attack relief, try natural sleep aids like melatonin, exercise daily but not too close to bed time, eat a healthy diet, cut out caffeine and other substances that interfere with your sleep cycles. It will take time and patience and this wont likely be an automatic nocturnal panic attack cure.....but this can serve as treatment for panic attacks at night.

Waking up violently in the middle of a deep sleep - literally leaping out of bed because my brain is telling me that I am going to die. No nightmares or anything like that - dead asleep one moment to throwing off the blankets and leaping out of bed three seconds later. "I cant breath. I have to breath. If I stop breathing I will die." Rapid heart rate and an absolute overwhelming TERROR that I have finally "lost it" and I am no longer in control. "Keep breathing. Dont stop breathing." my brain is screaming at me.
I would not wish this feeling upon my worst enemy - it is a horrible and VERY frightening experience. I cannot expect my partner to wake up at 3am and talk me through it for an hour or so - that is simply unfair to her. The attacks can be so unpredictable though - I will sleep soundly and solidly for 7 or 8 hours for weeks on end and then BANG I might get 2 or 3 in a week. Basically, I look at it as simply being a pain in the inconvenience to normal sleep patterns.
about the sixth one ( and watching a LOT of Utube self help vids) I found some steps that helped me. I use two pillows and sleep on my side, so that my head is "level" with the rest of my body. (This has helped 80%). I avoid eating a few hours before bed. When I wake from an attack (and I am rapidly pacing back and forth in the living room) I deliberately make a point of telling myself off in no uncertain terms how stupid this whole thing is, get a grip, you are NOT dying you are just having an attack that is purely an inconvenience. Getting annoyed with myself seems to put me back into perspective. Lying back down in bed will often trigger another one, so I resign myself to wrapping up warmly and sitting upright in a comfortable chair with a very low light on or just in darkness. I slowly breath in through my nose for 6 seconds (counting all the while) hold it in and then slowly exhale for six seconds through my mouth. It is impossible to think of nice things or being in a warm happy place - it doesn't work for me at all. Well, after all, I AM dying aren't I? - and thinking "happy thoughts" is almost laughable. So I concentrate solely on my breathing and how warm and snug I am in the chair - NOTHING else is allowed to enter my head. Breath in, hold it, breath out SLOWLY. Sometimes whilst I am holding my breath for a couple of seconds, my panic flares up again as I have "stopped breathing" but I calmly tell myself "dont be an idiot - just keep breathing normally". (Even having a glass of water in the middle on an attack will rattle my nerves as my brain thinks that I have stopped breathing again.)
I do the slow breathing for 30 odd minutes but eventually I will tire and nod off. I have never had a repeat attack whilst sitting upright and have always woken up some hours later after a solid sleep. However, there were a few times in the early stages that my panic wouldn't leave me - so against everything that has been said, I sit at the computer and look at boring mundane things or play solitaire / cards. This helped a bit as your mind is elsewhere and not thinking about yourself. When the nodding head and heavy eyelids appear, climb back into the chair and start breathing again - you will go to sleep within 5 or 10 minutes.
What I find the most rattling though, is the feeling of dread and doom the next morning - your brain takes a while to recover from a very frightening experience. Just get on with normal everyday life and you will find that feeling is gone by mid morning. Try not to think about another panic attack (perhaps) that night - put it out of your head and go to bed as normal. The sooner you accept that it is just another bloody annoying panic attack but you will survive, the sooner things seem to get a bit better. Accept it and your brain will tend to play it down and not make such a big issue out of it.
I know everyone is different and they treat things their own way - but the items I have mentioned have helped me get through some long nights. But yeah, they still initially scare the shit out of me until I start reasoning with my head and start to breath normally again. As I have said, it is a pain in the arse. Hope this helps someone out there - you aint alone believe me!

I just had one. This is one of the most frustrating experiences in my life. I've been going through this for a few years now 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️. I'm dizzy, confused, and screaming. Scared i'm dying. I pray for everyone experiencing this.

It always happens to me within 1.5- 2 hours of falling asleep. I suddenly wake up, sometimes not even knowing who I am, with fast heartbeat and trembling from the inside out. I feel the urge of standing up, and there’s when the panic kicks in. I feel claustrophobic, like trapped in my body. Everywhere I look triggers me more panic. Feel like if I want to escape but I can’t. Feels like the feeling is going to last forever. No coping mechanism works. Feels like I can’t see, but I can see. Feels like eternal suffering. But then it goes away, and I feel stupid. However, it becomes my greatest fear to go to sleep. I can control and avoid anxiety and panic attacks while awake. I learned to do it without medications, since I was 11 years old. But I can’t control it when it happens while I’m asleep. It’s horrifying. It’s like im not part of my body and everything I look makes me suffer, even my hands.

I hope everyone gets healthier and happier by the day.

Had my first nocturnal panic attack last night. Genuinely thought I was dying. As soon as I fell asleep, it happened. This video was really comforting. You’re honestly an angel.

[ijeoo]

I have terrible GERD for 11 years now and anxiety/PTSD frequent night terror and sleep paralysis issues. The whole shabang. I'm an abuse victim. The nocturnal panic attacks with all the classic symptoms have been bothering me for 2 years. Watching your video and reading comments makes me know I'm not alone. I'll overcome. Thanks!

[IMateol]

Just woke up into a Panic Attack this morning. It was so damn scary, i'm still a little scared from it. Just needed to look it up to not feel alone in this. Thank you

[ErikaMartinez-odjr]

Woke up and felt like if i had been running. Fast heart rate and rapid breathing. Those were the only symptoms. Anyone else feel like that?

[adamwestbrook]

Nocturnal anxiety is a new thing for me, it freaks me out, I experience panic attacks when I'm awake but here recently it happens much more often when I'm sleeping. I really appreciate your video. For awhile I thought I was the only one experiencing this

[leeannlopezyt]

I really, really appreciate that there are men out there talking about this as well. 🙏🏼

[deannadepugh]

I have these!! I wake up suddenly in a panic. Panicked about dying and not being here anymore. I have to literally run to the door, open it, look at the sky and take deep breaths of the outside air. It usually helps it go away. Horrible dealing with these things. I had no idea I am not alone. So thankful for this forum of videos.

[CrowntheePatrick]

Just had one right now, one of the scariest things I’ve ever experienced. This video helps a lot thank you. Don’t feel alone

[shawkb]

I’m so glad happy and blessed To have found this video and channel. I experienced my first nocturnal panic attack and I thought I was dying. These videos have educated me and has helped eased my anxiety whenever I feel a panic attack start. It’s good to see I’m not alone.

[juniez]

This makes me feel better, I had my first panic attack in the middle of sleep, and came to the conclusion of "I'm going to die". Thank you for the knowledge and helping other people out just as confused and whatnot.

[tanyab]

I came to this video because I had an anxiety or panic attack..
You hit all points! Thank you… I’m working on getting rid of Gerd as well…
Praying for better days

[marshaalison]

I have very specific nocturnal panic attacks - I wake up suddenly a few minutes after falling asleep, with a racing heart and rapid breathing, in a panic that I have forgotten something important at work. The non-existent task that I've "forgotten" changes every so often but it feels so real... it takes me a few minutes to figure out that it's not real. I guess I've been under a lot of stress since last year (long story) and new stressors this year. Will try your tips.

I'm so happy im not alone.

Last night I had them for the first time. I was terrified. Woke up gasping for air with ny body feeling really tingly. I was looking all around me wondering where I'm at. I felt insanely hot and was drenched in sweat. I didnt know what to do. I thought i was dying. My heart was beating 149 mph . I couldn't feel my tongue. I got up and begged God to make it stop and pacedaround my house for 3 hours because i was terrified to even lay down or it would happen again. I kept texting my mom to please take me to the hospital. I wouldnt wish this on my worst enemy. Its absolute hell and it feels like you are in a severe nightmare and it can last for hours. Im traumatized and I'm scared to go back to sleep tonite.

[SummerCampIsland]

I keep waking up out of nowhere and keep asking myself if I’m dead or alive. It takes me a second to remember who I am

[stephaniecruz]

Thank you so much for this video. I have been having the worst health anxiety for almost a month now. The past 3 days I’ve been waking up in the middle of the night with my hands numb and tingly. This added to my health anxiety thinking there is some seriously wrong. Watching your video has brought me so much comfort, thanks again.

[zjunegirl]

This happened to me last night! I get the doom feeling, cold hands and feet, out of breath (air hunger). It’s horrible!

[JonnyQ]

Sometimes it feels like I'm waking up thinking I die for a few hours, is so hard to explain.
