Hello,

 

I'm sorry you went through that, panic attacks are horrible. I am not an expert, but I have had attacks for awhile. What happened during this attack if you don't mind me asking?

Kenn1989 - If you are waking up in a sweat and feeling flushed this might very well be anxiety but before you chalk it all up to that be sure to see your physician and ask to have some labwork done to be sure that hormone levels and other basic chemistry values are all where they should be. If you have recently started new medications or have been using recreational drugs these may also be involved. Some of the antidepressants that are used for anxiety have sweating as a side effect.
