Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Present problems
- Calmly skin.
- Mid sleep panic attacks.
- H/o stent in the heart.

Possible correlation from above symptoms would be:
1. Sleep apnea: so check nocturnal blood oxygen saturation, check snoring, also check insomnia.
2. Wake up at the sleep may be due to panic attack or narcolepsy, etc.
3. Cardiogenic shock may can cause hypotension and shock.

Please consult your doctor, get it done ECG, echocardiogram, polysomnography, chest X-ray and then get treated accordingly.

Take care.
