Night-time fast heartbeat, shivering and breathlessness can occur with panic attacks, but after four years we should not assume anxiety alone.
Please arrange an in-person review for examination, BP, ECG and basic tests such as CBC and thyroid, and review any current anxiety treatment.
Seek urgent care for chest pain, fainting, severe breathlessness or a sustained very fast/irregular pulse.
Book a consultation with me so we can separate medical causes from anxiety and make a proper plan.
Four years of nighttime breathlessness, fast heartbeat, and shivering, especially alongside your anxiety history, is a pattern worth having formally evaluated rather than living with.
Next Steps
Please see a psychiatrist or physician together, to check whether this is anxiety-driven or has another trigger like your rhinitis.
