Does this sound more like sleep apnea or panic?

I awaken a couple of times a week (usually during an unpleasant dream, although not technically a nightmare) with an uncomfortable sensation in my chest, little bit of a fast heart and a sweaty feeling.
This is merely feeling anxiety because you were reacting to a dream that made you uncomfortable – that’s a completely normal reaction to a bad dream, so it’s not really panic or sleep apnea. However, apnea could cause a person to have a bad dream.
