What is going on with me?????

O.K. I am freaking out.  I just fell asleep for alittle while on the couch and the next thing I knew I felt like I couldn't wake up.  I finally opened my eyes and I was dizzy, I had a tightness in my chest, my heart was racing and I felt like I couldn't breath.  I was O.K. after I calmed down but now I am afraid to go back to sleep.  Does this sound like a panic/anxiety attack or something serious?????  Has this ever happened to anyone else before???

Earlier today I was having stomach pains and I got sharp shooting pains in the chest that went away after I burped (sorry I know that is gross).  Should I go to the dr????  Please help!!!

Hello I just happened by this forum to see the posts. I'm sorry to here your having a rough night
The other day I was out in the sun to long and felt like you described I drank allot of water and took a nice cool shower and just rested  with my feet up. Your the only one that knows whether to go to the Doctor don't depend on others for that information your body knows just listen to it. Good luck

Yes sounds like panic attack. See 'sleep panic attacks' below:
