Yes I wake up with panic and anxiety not always . Late 2023 I woke up in a panic attack and I actually felt fibromyalgia attacking me , it felt like I was being electrocuted and been hurting ever since .

Yes, anxiety and panic attacks can be related. I had them both. Waking up panicked, startled, rapid heartbeat, even my eardrums were fluttering. Without any particular reason to explain. Just severe generalized anxiety. Dizziness, palpitations, fear of losing control or dying. After a few months panic attacks disappeared. Mainly because I understood what was happening to me. Also tried progressive muscle relaxation and meditation and exercise. Anxiety remained but better. I could not handle any medication because of side effects. Hope you feel better soon.

Yes I have done when I have had the weirdest dreams . It is horrible. I also used to get panic attacks all the time I'd wake up having one . You need to see doc if it's regular they can give you antidepressants that what I was given I was put on sertraline and that has really helped me 🙏
