Hello
Welcome to HCM.
This may be sleep apnea or a panic attack.
I think you must visit a psychiatrist for detailed evaluation.
You might need a sleep EEG.
The treatment will depend on the exact diagnosis.
I must tell you that you should not take sleep inducing pills untill the diagnosis is confirmed. Sleep inducibg drugs like ativan and similar drugs can worsen sleep apnea.
Also i would advice you to avoid vigorous exercises at bedtime.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks.
