Hi - I have been working through the panic program. Getting help for my anxiety is great but I still have a problem at night and am not sure what to do. I have had an anxiety problem during the day but I never have a panic attack during the day - my panic seems to come when I am sleeping. I wake up at night, sometimes only once, but often over and over again. It seems to be at the same point in my sleep cycle - about 30 - 45 min after I fall asleep - I am suddenly awake with a racing heart, I then get sweaty , I use to panic but now I have realized more what is happening. So now I just wake up, feel hot, get a bit frustrated over the whole situation, then fall back asleep, only to wake up again about 30 -4 5 min later. Does anyone have this problem? The panic program (so far) has not given me any information on how to deal with panic at night. Even though I have been feeling better during the day, I still seem to wake up with a rcing heart and I don't really understand what is causing it. Any help would be much appreciated as this is a very frustrating problem. Thanks.
