Don't worry! I know that's easier said than done!.
I think I suffer from axiety attacks when I sleep aswell- well it's either that or nerve problems!. The Doctor said that if it's anxiety then breathing into a bag for a while should help!.
I've read so much into panic attacks and they seem to be caused by your body wanting to take in more oxygen caused by the fight of flight response!. Because you have too much oxygen (or maybe carbon dioxide!?) this causes symptoms such as pins and needles or a tight chest!.
Your paranoia is probably heightened by the scary sensations!.
I'm actually awake now because of a mild anxiety attack and I'm going to stay awake untill it's completely gone!. I am getting really fed up of it, but I'm also slowly getting used to it!.
Keep going to the Doctors and having more tests!. I'm having a nerve test on the 12th and if that comes up OK, I'm going to insist on having more tests done!.
I had a major panic attacka few years ago where I was convinced I was going to die!. It did not get better untill someone told me it was a panic attack!. Knowledge is power!. If you know what is going on with your body then you should start feeling less scared!.
Search around for panic attacks!. Read into the process of it and how you can make yourself feel better!.
I hope it goes soon!. All I can advise you to do is slow your breathing or try that bag technique!. Also keep insisting for various tests and some type of therapy!.
Also, if you live in UK, ring up NHS Direct!. I do that when I have panic attacks, even though I know it's nothing dangerous it's just reassuring to hear it from a Doctor!.
If they tell you to do breathing techniques such as short, shallow breaths, be careful with this as I tried it and it only made me feel like I was going to faint!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This is Somniphobia (fear of sleeping)!. It's fairly common especially in people who suffer from anxiety or OCD!. You're certainly not alone in having this problem!.
