I have panic attacks. It always happens in the worst places but the Dr doesn't think they are bad enough to warrent any help. Thing is they always hit me in the car. I'm glad I don't drive much but even if I'm in the passenger seat they'll still hit me. It's all related to a serious accident that Hubby was in a year and a half ago. I hadn't learned about it before I got to the site of the accident. Right before I got there an ambulance passed me going my way and then very soon after going the other way to the hospital. Now if an ambulance with it's siren going is anywhere near me when I'm driving, riding, or even just walking I freeze. When it happens I'm shaking, heart racing, frozen, and I get flashbacks and even nausea. Freezing like that is never good when you are driving either. I was on the phone just today and heard in the background an ambulance going by where the other person was. That even got me a little bit. I was out of breath, heart racing, and shaking. It has gotten worse over time not better either. If it gets much worse I will have to see a different Dr. I don't know much about night terrors but I have a close family member who I believe has them. Instead of sleep walking it's a lot like sleep fighting. Someone else touching them as they are falling asleep can trigger them and I have even gotten a black eye from it. They don't even remember it at all once they wake up.
