sleep paralysis heart attack

I am a 20F, I am currently taking adderol 20mg when I need to study, and Xanax to help me with panic attack, as well as Suboxone. I have been suffering with hypnopompic Sleep Paralysis- I wake up, usually from a day-time nap, unable to move or talk. I always brushed it off as a dream until it lasted for about an hour, I fell on the floor and was found there. During this time of Paralysis i got overheated, excessive sweating, and couldnt stop biting my tongue.

I experienced sleep paralysis for the first time last night. It was absolutely terrifying. I couldn't wake up no matter how hard i tried and when I was about to wake up I would be dragged right back into the horrible dream I was having Is anyone else experiencing sleep paralysis for the first time while pregnant.

Last night I experienced sleep paralysis for the first time and it was terrifying. I felt like I was being tortured and heard noises but I could not talk or even muffle any sounds. I was unable to sleep for awhile before this and only slept for two hours. Yesterday was also the three year anniversary of my mothers death who I was very close to so I am sure this was not a coincidence. Is this most likely an isolated incident by stress and the situation or should I be concerned?

The symptoms you are experiencing could be due to an entity called sleep paralysis. When this happens in sleep the person has difficulty moving his hands or feet. This is the symptom of a sleep disorder called Narcolepsy. This sleep disorder is characterized by excessive day time sleepiness, sleep paralysis, cataplexy where the person has episodes of loss of muscle function while awake, hypnogogic hallucinations and automatic behavior.

What you are experiencing could be hallucinations and delusions and they can occur with certain medications, stress, sleep deprivation, in certain brain disorders and with schizophrenia or bipolar disorders. When sleep paralysis happens in sleep the person has difficulty moving his hands or feet. This is the symptom of a sleep disorder called Narcolepsy. You will need to consult your primary care physician for assessment. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

All I knew is that it seemed so real and I would keep the lights on. I had the sleep paralysis also where I was trying to move but could not and trying to say, "Help" but the words would not come out. It was frightening. I would often recite the Lord's prayer. My daughter though has also had the paralysis in her sleep, so not sure if it is PSTD associated alone as she did not have the abusive childhood I did.

Do you know why you get sleep paralysis? Such as stress, random sleep eppisodes, naps during the day, etc etc. Also, do you get pain in the neck? Like a stricking pain going up your neck, it's a fast but very uncomfortable experience.

My issues have waxed and waned over the years although I am happy to report no more sleep paralysis.. Sleep paralysis is associated with narcolepsy to some degree. I feel it can often be brought about by stress/panic. Try sleeping on your stomach instead, this may resolve your sleep paralysis completely. Personally, I didn't like the things I saw or felt, so I would wake myself up as fast as possible... God bless.

t get it wait for too long you might have problems with your heart that may lead to heart attack or something. or probably paralyzed you but don't panic yet you still not sure of it. Just see your doctor for recommendations and diagnoses. hope that helps.

Is this ever accompanied by nightmares? It sounds like sleep paralysis, maybe combined with a panic attack. I have severe panic disorder, and also suffer from "trapped wind" quite a bit. I think the anxiety somehow causes me to swallow too much air. GasX works for that pretty well, but as for the other, there is also something called hypnagogic hallucinations which you may want to read up on.

Thanks a ton..!! Just did a quick search on Sleep Paralysis.. My case is exactly the same. It IS Sleep Paralysis, I'm sure now. I have irregular sleeping habits, loads of stress, I sleep upright.. And the symptoms are just so very accurate. I wonder how I missed this so far. I was thinking its some kind of a heart disease or brain problem or something..

Hi all, Every few months, I get a frightening eposide as a fall asleep, whereby I have a feeling of paralysis with a sense of blood rushing through the head and rapid heart beating. It might only last a few seconds but it is scaring the hell out of me. Mind you, I have had this for the past 15 years, and I can almost sense when I am due to get another episode. When it occurs, it feels like it might be a release of a buo\ild up of adrenaline.

So weird, my sleep paralysis stopped since I got pregnant. I'll give you my tip of advice. Once you have it in your mind that sleep paralysis is NOT a bad thing only then will you be able to deal with it. The more you fight it, the scarier it is and the harder it is to get away from. So when you feel it happening, instead of trying so hard to get up just realize that its only sleep paralysis and relax, stop fighting it. When I do that I feel so much better.

This is the symptom of a sleep disorder called Narcolepsy. This sleep disorder is characterized by excessive day time sleepiness, sleep paralysis, cataplexy where the person has episodes of loss of muscle function while awake, hypnogogic hallucinations and automatic behavior. You will need to consult your primary care physician, who may schedule you for a polysomnogram (sleep test) to rule out sleep disorders and initiate appropriate therapy. Best regards.

I cant queue anymore the dizzy spells are worse than they were in 2013 I almost feel like I am going to drop dead, have a heart attack or asthma attack, tt scares me I am a healthy 21 year old lad.

this would be more indicative of sleep paralysis. While not an uncommon occurrence in people, it is uncommon to have sleep paralysis several times a year or more, so you should mention this to your doctor, especially if you are experiencing other symptoms, like excessive daytime sleepiness, insomnia, brain fog, etc. Sleep paralysis has been linked to narcolepsy. I doubt your sleep paralysis was linked to quitting smoking, but it may have been linked to your alcohol usage.

Because you would get many symptoms off many different people would might reply to this post. His lifestyle, I would assume, triggered the attack off. We all need sleep. Plus too much drink is never good for you. And that is coming from an Irishman. Rare that we say that. But you are in the right place to get answers. Maybe others experienced the facial effects during panic attacks. So hang on in there. Don't give up. The answer might be a simple one come the end of the day.

If so, this could be a parasomnia called sleep paralysis brought on by REM sleep. I have found that when doctors don't know what is happening, they blame it on stress, anxiety, or panic attacks especially in women. During REM sleep the body paralyzes itself so as you can't physically act out your dreams because this can be very harmful. When sleep paralysis occurs the brain is still paralyzing your body because there is a disconnect between REM sleep and being fully awake.

Things like sleep paralysis, insomnia, allergic reactions, stomach problems, hyperventilating. Can stress and anxiety cause physical health issues such as these? Especially if doctors find all tests come back normal.

I take that back; I think I had an auditory hallucination last night. The same one twice. I didn't check to see if I could move or not until a few seconds later, though.

Sleep paralysis occurs when you may go to sleep or may tend to wake up from sleep. It is a temporary phenomenon where you are incapable of moving your body or even part of it physically but keep trying to shout loudly or seek someone’s help. It may be lasting for a few seconds to minutes. It can repeat once again if you sleep and there is no physical injury to body, but you will be probably frightened with sweating and increased heart beat with shortness of breath.
