Hi everyone...I've had something happening on and off that at first I thought were panic attacks, but now I'm not so sure, hoping to get some insight. Ok..I fall asleep, and within 1/2 hour I an hour, I wake up startled and confused..then major fear sets in...I start shaking terribly and by that point I go to the bathroom to put ice cold water on me or ice cold towels...it can last up to five minutes like that. It feels like what a seizure feels like in the beginning for me, but doesn't escalate as it would if I were off meds....does this sound familiar?? Help!!!

Sounds like it could be a simple-partial. I would have them when falling asleep. If I had them when I was asleep, I usually wouldn't remember, but I would never have any feelings afterwards.
There was once my wife woke me up after a very short tonic clonic and I felt similar, but the confused feeling lasted longer.
Do you sleep alone?
Not much to go on. Good luck figuring it out.
