I sometimes wake up with chest pain. I have been to the doctors many times for chest pain and I’ve always been told it’s either anxiety or muscular so I try not to worry about it too much.

However, this morning I woke from an alarm in the middle of a nightmare and my chest hurt pretty badly and my heart was pounding. It still hurts now, over 6 hours later. Is it possible I had a panic attack in my sleep from the nightmare?
