Hi - I too have been waking up in the middle of the night lately and tachy and a nervous feeling inside, even though i am calm as could be on the outside!  I am premenstrual now too- I think this is hormonal.  I have talked to my gyn. who said it is very common in women our age (i am 42), who are not childbearing anymore.  We get a surge of hormones, and our body doesnt know what to do with them, from they way he explained it to me!  He told me to take vit b complex w/folic acid, and i too take an intermittent zanax if i can't get it under control (just took one this am)  
As far as the pain in your right leg, did this happen after you were asleep for awhile and woke up w/it? Because I am thinking if you were sleeping wrong (position wise) and you woke up w/your symptoms, that your body just naturally got more anxious over the groin pain and the tingling (common w/anxiety) started as well.  I would try to talk to yourself, and work through the anxiety over the symptoms.  
Also, try to Bcomplex w/folic acid and see if it helps-
I am there w/you if it is any comfort!
hope some of this helps you - and have a great weekend-

Oh my its been a long time since  I posted. I have had panic attacks off and on for well over 10 years.
Evrey symptom imaginable. My body has been checked from pillar to post. I started taking thyroid meds about 4 months ago and it seemed to really help my palps and waking up with tach in the middle of the night. But this week I have started waking up, can almost sense it in my dream and boom my heart will zoom  and will most of the time settle down.

Tonight it feels like I have a pain in my groin area of my right leg and then the tingly feeling comes over my body . I took a 1/2 of a alparzolam. What is freaking me out is my leg has never felt this way before. I am telling myself its the adrenaline, the anxiety etc. but of course I am thinking blood clot, um you name it, it rolls through my head.

I hope some one will comment............it is right before my cycle, I am 46. I have hasimoto thyroiditis.
So really know I am okay. Need to balance life more and relax more.

Thanks for your help.
