What Could Cause Episodes Of A Sudden Sense Of Doom While Sleeping?
Question: I am getting nervous about going to sleep these days. About four times now I have been woken up by a sensation of intense heat and threat as if a nuclear bomb went off and it is the end of the world. I get the feeling more and more that my heart maybe has stopped and restarted and woke me up. Have you heard of this feeling before from patients?
