Sometimes I wake up having crazyyy anxiety or in the midst of a panic attack. it's really hard to keep calm and differentiate the symptoms from an emergency, like allergies or a heart attack since the symptoms are so intense. especially if I just woke up out of a nightmare! What do you do when you have panic in the middle of the night and what soothes it? I wake up with the classic throat tightness and numbness, a tight/crushing feeling in my chest, chest and back pain, difficulty breathing, and absolute numbness in my chest sometimes. I was looked at by a cardiologist to rule out anything serious, my heart is so strong it gives me crippling panic attacks lmao :/
