For the past few weeks I've woken several nights with Nocturnal Panic Attacks. For no apparent reason.
I'm years from any DDays. WH and I are doing very well together. No major trigger days or daily triggers. Just waking at night in a panic [no nightmares/dreams preceding them]. But Holy BLEEP! They suck. The chest pains, the rapid breathing, the sweat, the horror of it all....I've had enough post DDay to recognize them for what they are.
And the worst is I'm awake for hours in their aftermath, trying to convince myself it just a night time panic attack and do all the mental self soothing exercises.
Anyone else?

How old are you could this be menopause? Yes hot flashes in the middle of the night waking up soaked and feeling heart racing is just part of it.

Well Hell tushnurse! I'm in my mid 50s. So sadly...you may be right. I knew hot flashes were a thing and could happen at night. I had no idea Nocturnal Panic Attacks could be menopausal as well.
