Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Jolted awake: You MAY be having panic attacks. There are also other neurological possibilities associated w/sleep. Please start w/a visit to your doctor. He/she may rule out the neuro possibilities and then you can consult w/a clinical psychologist if panic attacks are the issue. Peace and good health.
