There has been old posts with plenty of people having similar nightmares. I did ask my doc if it was possible to have panic attack at night, and the answer was yes.
I hope this gets better soon, I know how scary it is  |
Thank you Postconcussion! I am not having headaches with the dreams, but they are extremely strong emotions that wake me up whether good or bad. I don't mind the good dreams, just the scary ones.
Mark - I have noticed that when awaken from these dreams my breathing is off. Almost like I hold my breath for a few extra seconds, which then causes the vertigo to kick in. I am seeing a neurologist on Wed. I'll have to ask him about this.
Shazni - I am having the same problem with being afraid to go back to sleep. I don't wake up screaming, but I can imagine how scary that would be.
