mom2be_oct_baby

It's happened twice so far I wake up in the middle of the night, heart pounding and feeling like I can't breath. I'm under a good bit of stress lately. I'm going to call my doc in the morning. Do any if u kno what its like to have an attack? Do u think this is what is going on?

Hmm Ive had panic attacks before. Since it didnt happen while you were awake, unless something in your dream triggered it I dont know enough about them to say it is. If youve had a history of them it might be possible too. It can also be something like sleep apnea. Its just usually panic attacks are associated with extreme amount of feeling desperate well feeling panic and are usually triggered by something. Its good youre calling your dr though. Hope its nothing.

Do u have bad dreams? I wish I could help

Panic attacks feel god awful though. No self control, feelings of severe desperation, racing thoughts, sucidal ideations due to thinking you cant escape. Its not pretty.

Sounds more like sleep apnea unless ur dream triggered it some how. Anxiety attacks can either be triggered or be out of the blue. I have both, the ones out of the blue are harder to calm down from because I'm not sure what I'm panicking over so its harder...well for me atleast.

Its like being lost instead ur own head and not being able to grasp anything. Like feeling really helpless. Its really hard to breath cause it feels like u have a weight on ur chest...in short it sucks =/

Last night I had a bad dream and that woke me up to feeling like I can't breath and my heart pounding. I've only ever had one panic attack before I was prego, and that was when my friends Bf attacked me shoved me into a pole and outin a lit cigarette on my back. I fought back and broke his nose, but it was the scariest thing ever. So I know somewhat of what it feels like, I asked my Hubby if I sound like im breathing different at night or when I'm sleeping, he usually lays awake at night til morning hours he has problems sleeping. He said I sound fine I breath normal besides I snore a little now.
