What You Need To Know About Nocturnal Panic Attacks

20 Apr

Close to 40% of the people who suffer from panic attacks experience these attacks in the night. Despite these alarmingly high numbers, there is no definite reason that has been established as the cause for these attacks.

A person who experiences nocturnal attacks is woken up by the heavy thumping of the heart rapidly. A lot of people aggravate this attack by confusing it to be a heart attack. They experience the same symptoms that a person would if he was having a cardiac arrest. He begins to feel short of breath and an unknown blanket of fear envelopes him. Some people have gotten up with a feeling that they have just experienced one of the dreaded nightmares ever in their life.

A few doctors are of the opinion that sleep apnea may be one of the reasons for these panic attacks at night. A person suffering from sleep apnea experiences high blood pressure and rapid heartbeats since they breathing gets interrupted. This leads to lesser amount of oxygen in the body and leads to panic attacks.

A few physicians feel that Gastroesophaegal Reflux Diseas (GERD) and Laryngospasm also cause nocturnal panic attacks that need immediate medical intervention.
