Friend has panic attacks in sleep what should I do?

Hi so basically my friend has panic attacks in her sleep and I was wondering what should I do when this happens, do I wake her up or just let it happen?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi AC2025

Not sure what you mean by panic attacks in her sleep - can you describe a bit more?

It's like a normal panic attack I guess but in her sleep and it basically consists of a lot of stirring and noises for a couple of minutes until she settles down again.
