Waking up panic?
My anxiety is pretty high right now and so is my worry. What's been happening....well when I wake up from deep sleep, I'm not sure what's happening, but I wake up and start to go into a panic attack. Every muscle in my body tenses up, my heart racing, it feels as if I'm not real? I look at my my hands, legs and feet and sometimes they appear pale or maybe distorted? Really smooth. Then I have to turn on the light and start jogging to get the blood flowing and eventually it gets better. I'm so sick of feeling like this. Does this happen to anyone else? Went to the ER awhile ago, EKG and blood tests are normal, so its gotta be anxiety

It's possible that you are waking from a night terror. People don't usually have any memories of what actually occurs during the dream but wake up with anxiety symptoms (which it sounds like you're describing). Have you considered doing a sleep study? How often does this happen?
