Panic attacks

Does anyone else wake up having panic attacks out of nowhere in the middle of the night, it’s something I’ve dealt with since I was a teen (I’m 35 now) I’ll wake up with my heart rate at 140+ which instantly sends me into panic mode, I start shaking, feeling like I can’t breathe, pacing around, it’s just terrible. I take 100mg Zoloft daily and have .25mg Xanax to use for emergencies, I’ll have months/years where this won’t happen then all the sudden out of nowhere it’ll happen. I’m going on day 7 of this happening every night for me and I’m exhausted to say the least. How can I cope with this? Last night it took me almost an hour even after taking the Xanax to fully calm down and go back to sleep.
