I have experienced once ,but just once.seems like..um.....well .That night suddenly woke up (maybe woke up from a nightmare ,but i just cant remember that)and without any harbinger,an indiscribale feeling of horror and a sense of death flocked in my mind。i started to shake,the speed of heart beat was rapidly increasing to a pretty high level.i couldnt move and just feels like i was dying.When i reached the peak of that statu,i felt a sense of exploded.But after that ,i felt better .the most odd thing is i just experience once,but that just impressed me a lot .i think i wouldnt forget it forever.

Those are awful! I awoke gasping for breath, not being able to remember what my "dream" was, or even if there WAS a dream! This kept happening often.
I spoke with my doctor, and he said I was having panic attacks! I thought he was nuts! Why would I have a panic attack when I was sleeping?  But he put me on medication and I tried it -- and guess what? No more episodes of gasping for breath!!! Go figure. Trouble is, he had put me on Xanax, and I got addicted to it. Of course I have a very addictive personality since at the time I was an alcoholic and didn't tell him. So I abused the Xanax -- really smart. It wasn't long after that I quit drinking and cold-turkeyed the Xanax -- which was a STUPID thing to do, since I could have had seizures.  Long story short -- yeah, I have had them. Sorry for the saga.

Panic attacks are horrible. I used to have them loads at one point, but thankfully in time I was able to see them for what they actually were and they eventually went away apart from very occasionally.
They would feel like I was having a heart attack, or that is how it felt to me. I couldn't breathe. My heart was pounding and I thought it would jump out of my chest. I'd shake. I felt nauseous. I had no clue what was happening to me and I was convinced I was dying. Just horrible.

The first panic attack I had was at work. It was horrible and I was scared. I had no idea what was happening to me. Later my PCP explained it
