Your pattern—sometimes normal stool and sometimes loose/mushy stool for around 1.5 years, together with anxiety and sudden panic episodes during sleep—can occur with an IBS/gut–brain interaction, particularly when bowel symptoms fluctuate with stress. IBS commonly causes alternating changes in stool consistency, and anxiety itself can produce gastrointestinal symptoms including diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort and sleep disturbance. The leg cramps and fatigue, however, should not automatically be attributed to anxiety or IBS. Episodes of frequent loose stool can contribute to fluid/electrolyte loss, which can make you feel weak or develop cramps. Your description does not by itself suggest that something is wrong with your brain or heart. Night-time panic can feel extremely physical—racing heartbeat, sweating, breathlessness, dizziness and a sudden feeling of danger—but panic attacks themselves are generally not dangerous.
Next Steps
Since this has continued for 1.5 years despite treatment, I would recommend a proper clinical reassessment rather than continuing to chase each episode individually. ou can also connect with us at 9 3 1 5 6 6 1 5 6 5 for better treatment and personalised guidance.
Health Tips
For the next 2–3 weeks, keep your routine simple: regular meals, adequate fluids, good sleep, daily walking and reduction of caffeine/tea, very spicy foods, alcohol and foods that clearly trigger loose stools. Keep a small diary of food, stool consistency, bowel frequency, anxiety and sleep; this often reveals a relationship between the gut and stress. IBS management can include dietary modification, physical activity, stress reduction, relaxation techniques and psychological approaches such as CBT or gut-directed therapy. During a nocturnal panic episode, sit comfortably, breathe slowly and deeply, and remind yourself that the surge will pass rather than repeatedly checking your heartbeat. Thank you

Waking suddenly with panic, leg cramps, and loose stools for over a year points more toward your body's stress response than a heart or brain problem. This still needs to be confirmed by a doctor, not assumed on your own.
Next Steps
Please see a general physician for a stool test and blood work to check for anaemia or thyroid issues behind your fatigue and cramps.
Health Tips
Book a session with a psychiatrist or counsellor for your panic attacks. These need their own care, not just an IBS tablet.
