What you are experiencing is a classic manifestation of Nocturnal Panic Attacks and the IBS-Anxiety link. When you sleep, your sympathetic nervous system can suddenly trigger a 'fight or flight' response, causing heart racing, breathlessness, and dizziness. Because of the direct communication between the brain and the digestive system (Gut-Brain Axis), this acute anxiety sends immediate signals to your intestines, resulting in 'powdered' stools and an urgent need to use the washroom. These are physical symptoms of a stress response, not a sign of organ failure
