Sleep - sense of doom - night sweats

I've been sleeping so well and now all of a sudden the insomnia is back. It's 2 AM ... I feel tired, but everytime I try to fall asleep I wake up in a sweat, having heart palps, sweating like crazy, having horrible thoughts/dreams, and this sense of impending doom.

Anyone relate?

I don't normally get night sweats too bad... I've had then a couple of times but nothing I've been worried about.... Now with my most recent bloodwork results (ANA positive, borderline Sjogrens, monocytes elevated (WBC still normal 4.8)) this really scares me.

I hate this feeling of doom... Like death is on my doorstep. Always hits me at night. I hadn't had it for months.... Then bam! Lame.

It's a really awful feeling that you wouldn't wish on anyone. I have something similar where I have such a bad feeling that I'm afraid to fall asleep. I don't have night sweats but I do get startled awake. I just figured it was the dreams I was having.

The worst was when I was taking PPI's for my stomach problems. That really gave me an impending sense of doom all the time. But I read a lot of people experience that and severe anxiety on the drug.

Hope you get past this soon. Good luck!
