[quote=Anonymous]It could be either a panic attack or sleep apnea, unfortunately. It can be hard to tell the difference and you should ask for an at-home sleep apnea test. I have anxiety and a panic disorder that produces the symptoms you describe. I've had too many to count, OP! But I also suspect I have apnea episodes, because sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night with a gasp, and the sensation I can't breath (which then often turns into a panic attack, but only afterward - complicated!). I've gotten checked for sleep apnea. The problem is, since I'm anxious, every time I'm strapped to the little sleep wiring apparatus, that's the night I can only doze... so of course the machine can't record a breathing event, since I'm not deeply asleep at any point! Stupid anxiety. [/quote]
