Does anyone else have this? I've not yet met someone who does and Im really interested.

I've experienced this for at least the past 10 years.
I wake up, but don't actually think Im awake, i jump out of bed, normally covered in sweat..im walking around the room trying to work out where I am and whos house Im in and am trying to desperately find the way out.
Im panicking, really bad feelings, feelings of desperation and normally intense fear and panic about being somewhere unknown. I 'come round' when I'm at a window or door (almost always a window)..and I'm either trying to open it somehow or I've pulled the curtains across, or am struggling to find the opening to the window.
When I do 'come round' I realise what Im doing, where I am (normally my bedroom) but I'm mid panic attack and i have to either go to the bathroom and splash my face or i have to sit on the side of the bed for a few minutes. My heart is going ten to the dozen. I feel sick, sometimes I actually want to be sick but Im not.
Ive never actually got out of a window yet, but I have managed to open one and 'came around' with my head and top half of my body out of the window, on a second floor flat!
Recently, for the first time, I was banging on the window and shouting 'get me out of here'....horrible.
I've also tried to get out of front doors and at one stage, I used to get my keys unlock the door and Id be heading downstairs (i lived in a flat), in my knickers ready to escape in my car...

weird and regular and scary..normally more rife when i have a lot on my mind

Sorry for this, have you told your doctor?
