Well, I have panic attacks alot and every
night while almost asleep I sit up real
fast freaked out because I feel short of
breath and numb all over as my heart is
pounding (pretty much like Im starting to
have a panic attack). I sometimes even
choke while trying to breathe. When I
finally do get to sleep, I will wake up
feeling the same way and when I look
around, everything looks like a strobe
light is on. It lasts for a about 5
seconds. At the same time I also feel like
Im out of my body. Like Im not real or
something. Its so weird and Im wondering
what it could be. The main thing that
freaks me out is the strobe light effect
and the out of body feeling. Is it just
stress that is causing all of this or do I
have a serious problem?

Do you get panic attacks only before
falling asleep or during the day, too?
Are you fully conscious, but unable to
move when you get the strobe light
effect?
Do you get the feeling that someone is
standing beside you?
