Debi,
While I am not a doctor, I might be able to offer a plausible explanation. There are aggressive endocrine changes that happen with menopause. One of these is that when we lose our estrogen, our adrenal glands attempt to compensate. One of the things that happens is that our cortisol, adrenaline, and nor adrenaline go higher than normal. While it's not possible to test adrenaline levels, cortisol when tested, is high and above normal range. You probably know that these adrenal hormones are considered the "fight or flight" hormones.
So with all this in mind, this is part of the reason that many women in menopause ecperience bouts of anxiety and panic attacks.
At least that's the best guess I can give you, as to what happened last night. Sorry, i know it's all very unpleasant.
Eat well, sleep a full 8 hours a night if you can. Drink plenty of clean water, take a good vitamin and reduce stress in you rlife where possible. Hopefully this will pass soon.

Hi
Gailannie's explanation is spot on (a gynaecologist told me the same) I had this and eventually decided to take flouextine, with existing mild anxiety problems I already had it caused me to get a panic disorder.
I have had no panic attacks or anxiety, my sweating has been reduced greatly and although I am peri menopausal I can at least say I feel better without worrying about these episodes coming on so randomly.
Try taking Magnesium and pure flaxseed these help to regulate hormones or try some bioidentical hormone cream
Keep talking on here it does help it certainly helped me
