Scare

Last night/this morning (not quite sure of the hour), I was woken suddenly by an asthma attack.  And not a small one either.  It was intense and scared me a lot.  I was startled by not being able to breathe and then gasped and wheezed through it.  The part that made it so hard is that I don't wake up well when startled awake.  It takes me some time to come to a full consciousness and completely aware of the reality vs. dreaming.  And I was already in a dreaming sleep, so this made it an scary experience that I really hope I never experience like that again.  Any time I have an attack like that, I also go into panic mode (and vice versa) which causes an anxiety attack.  I am not sure which caused whichlast night, but by the end of it all I realized I had both.  The world closes in on me during both asthma and panic attacks, things go black sometimes and I feel disconnected.  Not something fun at any time of the day but sure as hell not in the middle of the night while asleep. I am hoping for a much better night and an easier sleep.
