A member asked:
Can panic attacks occur multiple times a night every night, don't respond to ativan, (lorazepam) can't be controlled by breathing and reach hr of 180bpm? daytime

Possible, but...: As you probably already know, this is not the classical picture for panic attacks. On the other hand, it is possible that the symptoms you describe are panic attacks. I would suggest looking for other causes though - such as thyroid, other endocrine, or other medical disorders. Also, a large number of medications and 'recreational' drugs could contribute to anxiety/panic symptoms.
