Hi ladies,

I have been waking up at 2 AM every night for the last 2 weeks. I wake up and have this strange feeling that I won't be able to breathe, but I breathe just fine. It's weird and hard to describe, but it's scary. I usually go back to sleep within 30 minutes after it happens.

My period was due 2 days ago, but has not showed up yet. I wonder if I have a really bad case of PMS.

Also have heart palpitations when I go to bed, and tinnitus almost all day long.

I just want to have one day where I feel normal...ugh!

    I feel your pain. I don't know what time it is but sometimes I wake up feeling like that also. It's scary. I too have the palpitations when I lay down or on the daytime. I'm getting sick of it. My husband sleeps like a log. Must be nice.

    Dana i remember those awful days. i felt like someone was choking me in my sleep, cannot breath. It happened around the same time. I would go to sleep awake to more episodes during the night. Plus panic attacks , shaking, crying. You just have to ride it out. Thank God I don't have them anymore. Try to watch a movie to ease your mind. Take care, God bless
