I'm sure you've check this but just in case, here's a description of panic attacks. Once you've had one, you know it. And you can get them in your sleep.
++++++++
Panic attacks are sudden feelings of terror that strike without warning. These episodes can occur at any time, even during sleep. A person experiencing a panic attack may believe that he or she is having a heart attack or that death is imminent. The fear and terror that a person experiences during a panic attack are not in proportion to the true situation and may be unrelated to what is happening around them. Most people with panic attacks experience several of the following symptoms:
Racing" heart
Feeling weak, faint, or dizzy
Tingling or numbness in the hands and fingers
Sense of terror, of impending doom or death
Feeling sweaty or having chills
Chest pains
Breathing difficulties
Feeling a loss of control
Panic attacks are generally brief, lasting less than ten minutes, although some of the symptoms may persist for a longer time.
+++++++++++
Even though you are just 35, peri-menopause could be setting in. Have your doc check your hormones just in case.
Vertigo/inner ear problems will cause dizziness. More like the room is spinning.
