Full blown panic attack during sleep

[megamerbear]

I have been waking up with panic attacks in the middle of the night. I fall asleep feeling some what anxious then wake up standing up in the middle of the room or sitting up in bed feeling like I am lost. It's such a weird scary feeling. I have tried chamomile tea and breathing exercises. I try and calm myself down and can't fall back asleep. Does anyone have this problem? If so what helps? It's become a regular occurrence.

Do you take supplements? I find that calcium and magnesium are very calming.

I take vitamins. I have tried so much. I was on medication and me and my doctor weened me off of it. I notice I have more mid night panic attacks when I don't get enough sleep the prior night. I am willing to try anything helpful. Thank you!!!!
