I was just wondering if this was anxiety or something else. Several days out of the week I get woken up because my heart starts racing so fast. More than once a night. It's like when I wake it's at it's peak then it starts to slow back down to normal. Also when this happens I am shaky (on the inside) and sometimes outside too, kind of likeI was startled, and usually am hot or sweating. However I am not anxious or having bad dreams prior to this. Is it anxiety or something else, does anyone else experience this?
 
you are probably having panic attacks in your sleep...happens to me too.. It can be very scarey.
 
It sounRAB like panic attacks in your sleep. That happens to me a lot when I don't take my Klonopin before bed. I think it happens easier in your sleep because your defenses are down as far as being able to fight the panic attack off. I would let my doctor know about them, and see what your doctor says.
