Is it possible to have a panic attack while sleeping?

Asked by kwoahh (68points) December 2nd, 2012 from iPhone

I have been diagnosed with anxiety and depression and have been getting horrible, terrifying dreams every night for the past couple of months. I wake up with the covers twisted and messy, my clothes twisted and scrunched and my friends say that at sleepovers I thrash and toss and turn all night. Because if this I wake up exhausted every morning. My dreams area mainly of disturbing images, running away from things, and people dying.

I rarely have panic attacks (when I’m awake) but I just have a constant anxious nervous feeling, and my friend thinks I’m getting the panic attacks when i sleep. What do you think?
