Sleep walking/ terrors???

Okay so this is a bit random but Google hasn’t been much help with this other than throwing big words at my face so any help is welcomed thank you!!!

For around a year now I’ve been sleep talking and walking and it’s usually, from what I can remember (it’s really hard to explain because it’s like i remember but I also don’t so please bear with my explanation) i have a nightmare/ terror about spiders either being near or on or around me and I wake up in a panic and sprint out of my room and sometimes go into my parents room and regain ‘consciousness’ sometimes I get just outside my door regain ‘consciousness’ but on a few occasions I’ve started yelling whilst in this ‘sleep state’ and screaming at my parents that they’ve put spiders on me or in my bed (this is what they tell me I do) anyway it’s usually just that and it can happen every night or skip some nights and it impacts my sleep massively and my mental state. However last night it happened again but I ran to the top of my stairs and thankfully regained my ‘consciousness’ before I went even further I have no idea what I would’ve done if I didn’t. This time though rather than just being a bit scared I was in genuine terror, my fight or flight mode activated I was sweating, heavy breathing, shaking everything and my chest was hurting really bad from the panic.. after standing there for something like 30 seconds I went back to bed but when I woke up all day today I’ve had that same pain in my chest whenever I breathe for long periods of time then it’s okay again…

I have no idea what’s going on and I don’t fancy trying to jump down the stairs in my sleep LMAO and when this happens it makes me feel awful and it feels like I’ve gotten no sleep at all when I wake up, I don’t know what to do anymore and I don’t want a repeat of last night because it was really scary

Any insight into what this is or how I can fix it or get help is really appreciated I have exams and college and work and I cant afford to be doing this every night and feeling so drained the next day
Thank you in advance for anyone who replies 🙏🙏
