this post is not really about trucks but I still wounderd what people might think. I have been waking up recently in the middle of the night not being able to breath soaked throw with cold sweat and my head seems to be raceing lightening fast with lots of bad thoughts of worring about anything and everything and after waking up it takes being awake for about an hour or so befor I feel back to normal :frowning: seems to happing every night for a while now. just wounderd if anyone new or had similar thing happen to them ? many thanks

Do you snore??

thanks for the input. If I explain alittle abit better about the breathing. As its not that I canโ€™t breath or that I have not been breathing, I am very able to breath its just that its really fast but I still cant get enuff air like Iโ€™m gasping and my heart beat is going really fast, like I have been running. and my brain feels like its over loading with negative thoughts so bad it takes a good hour of being awake for my brain to carlm down. thanks for all your feed back. thjink it might be cronic painic attacks, I have been really stressed recently. or maybe post traumatic stress as I suffered a violent robbery when I was sleeping acouple of months ago in the middle of the night :frowning: thanks all I will see the doc soon as pos.
