Hi,
There are 3 possibilities here -
1. Panic disorder
2. Night terrors (unlikely as she is an adult)
3. Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS)
I suggest you approach her physician with these possibilities and get her evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
