Dealing with Panic Attacks While Trying to Sleep

I’m not diagnosed with any mental health issues but I do get pretty severe(?) panic/anxiety attacks while trying to fall asleep. Consisting crying the inability to breathe hyperventilating and feeling like I’m going to die. I actually began praying to Jesus once. Don’t know if that’s normal getting panic attacks while trying to sleep. I also have trouble sleeping. I don’t have anyone to talk to about these things especially not my parents and I was wondering if any one had suggestions.
