I woke up this morning feeling like I'd had an anxiety attack! I was having trouble breathing, my heart was racing, and I felt like I was going to be sick. I had just had a nightmare about my husband..i'm currently going through a divorce. I'm just wondering if it's possible to have an anxiety attack while you sleep. I would definately appreciate any answers..thanks!

Yes, I get them occasionally. It's horrible, because in the few moments before I wake up completely it's incedibly scary not knowing what's happening.
Sounds like you're in a really stressful time at he moment, so that's why it's happening. You could try cutting out caffeine (including chocolate) and not drinking too much alcohol before you go to bed - I find that helps.

Yes, your most likely to have a heart attack when you wake up.

Of course!
You dream so that your brain doesn't stop operating while you sleep.
