bed and then i would feel like my heart skipped a beat or something. then i would start breathing funny... like i couldn't get a deep enough breath. i would also start feeling dizzy and sick to my stomach. the feeling would pass after a while but then i couldn't sleep because i was scared it would happen again.

My husband works nights and I get the same feelings every so often and it is worse when you are alone and have no distractions. I know that this is a panic or anxiety attack because I have dealt with this my whole life and I do not want meds as it has gotten better through the years-it was bad when i was younger. To get over this quickly i will go downstairs, splash some water on my face and get some fresh air-the coolness on the face is a natural relaxer-then i generally turn on HAPPY tv-70's show, friends is great! and turn on the internet for a little while. Within 20 min i am able to go to bed. i know this can be scary, but if you learn how to "turn it off" it will be lots better-you will feel more in control. You won't be so scared of it happening because if it does you know how to fix it.

Yep it sounds like a panic attack, I'd go to the doctors before it happens again, because people develop all sorts of conditions like agraphobia from panic attacks & worrying when 1 will next come can actually bring one on.. Maybe you're under stress right now, so you should go the doctors & they'll decide what's best.. I've had it before & it's horrible but nothing bad can happen from them, it just feels that way xxx

It could be a panic attack -- they affect different people in slightly different ways.
It may also be PVC's -- premature ventricular contractions -- that then cause you to feel anxiety and cause the other symptoms.
I've had both -- they are scary, but not harmful. Are you under a lot of stress? Either one can be caused by that.

a panic attack or anxiety attack feels like that but there is usually something psychological that proceeds them. for me its usually place that i feel lost or trapped in -- overcrowded malls are very popular places for attacks.
it sounds like it might be something else if you aren't feeling any pyschological discomfort.

You should visit the doctor soon and tell him about this
