Help: I occasionally wake up in an extremely frightened state..?

Question:

I woke up in the middle of the night and it was like a nightmare while I was awake (I was frightened of inantimate objects in my room, and I felt feally weird), I was yelling because I was so scared and ran to my dad's room. What is the cause of this? Is this a night terror, I did not have any dreams prior to this and It wore off after a few minutes, my mind was in a scared state (sober)

Answers:
I would seek the help of a mental health professional. My son is giong through the same thing after having gone through a traumatic experience he was diagnosed with night terrors he would remember only a small part or one thing from his nightmares. He also has these during the day about 2hrs. into nap time. He is now on medication and these night terrors are a little less freq. now only 3/4 times a week instead of 6/7 times. there can be other contibuting factors we were told by his Dr.'s like migraines or seizures so I would really seek Medical Attention right away! Just know your not alone! Good luck & Good night!

Anxiety attacks, not uncommon.
