I sometimes wake up in cold sweats, am dizzy at least once a day, and every once in a while experience pain in my chest. I am really just looking for the description of a panic attack. Dear Kristen, thank you for your question. Given your age, it is very unlikely that you have underlying cardiac disease, but if your symptoms persist, you should see your physician. I hope you find this information useful.
