Hi, I have a serious problem. I’ve been having panic attacks for a long time, and I always thought they will go away, but in the last few months they are becoming even worse then they were before. I am waking up in panic every night. What should I do?
Hello, I have the same problem! When a panic attack wakes me up in the middle of the night, there’s no way I am going to sleep again. I am sweating and I can’t breathe normally. I have a feeling like my heart is going to jump out. I wake up in panic and there’s nothing else to do but to watch TV. Next day at work is a disaster. I am sleepy and can’t concentrate. I am using some antidepressants, but they are obviously not good enough or strong enough to prevent waking up at night. I must see a doctor about this, because it’s really starting to ruin my life.
