    Sounds like an anxiety attack . It is possible to be woken with these. Can make you feel like your dying. Are you under any stress at the moment or anxious about anything? I always get more stressed at this time of year and don’t sleep well and wake up hot and shaky. I try and talk myself into calming down and breathing slowly and deeply.
