Panic Attacks During Sleep

[open eyes]

Lately I've been having very few panic attacks during the daytime- which I thought was good. But I guess I'm repressing the anxiety until I'm asleep. These are different from nightmares or night terrors. It's the weirdest feeling- like I'm mentally awake, having a panic attack, but while my body is asleep.

Is there any medical term for these symptoms? Has anyone had similar experience?

Your body is asleep, meaning you can't move? But, your mind is awake? It's called sleep paralysis and it's terrifying.

@Solara I did some research on it & sleep paralysis fits it perfectly. Thank you!!!
