Sleep paralysis and hypnagogic hallucinations are most likely to occur when you have a sleep deficit (have been getting less sleep than you need multiple days in a row, causing a "build-up" of missed sleep) or are sleep-deprived (such as "pulling an all-nighter").
Narcolepsy, a sleep disorder is characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, sleep paralysis, cataplexy where the person has episodes of loss of muscle function while awake, hypnagogic hallucinations and automatic behavior. Central sleep apneas are caused due disorders or lesions in the brain. The peripheral system does not get the right impulses for respiration and hence the stoppage of respiration. As a result the person is aroused from sleep. Regards.

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.
Also, some places it has been linked to Sleep paralysis. (which mostly is waking up/falling asleep paralyses. ) - But ive read once that one of the side effects might be exactly this.
and i do have sleep paralysis from time to time.
Now, since im of course still scared ******** about the heart and all due to anxiety, im not gonna say "there is no need to see the doctor".
I have no idea how your medical history looks like. So go see him if needed.

Classical narcolepsy constitutes of Hypnagogic hallucinations, Sleep paralysis and Cataplexy (emotionally triggered muscle paralysis resulting in partial or complete collapse).
You need to undergo tests like Polysomnography, Multiple Sleep Latency Test and CSF levels of Orexin/Hypocretin which help to substantiate the diagnosis.
Having regular nap for about 20 min during day will help to prevent sleep attacks.
It sounds like you might be experiencing hypnagogic or hypnophobic hallucinations accompanied by sleep paralysis. The hallucinations are usually triggered by some auditory input and most report them to be extremely terrifying in nature, I being one of them. The sleep paralysis is a natural part of the REM cycle but when associated with a sleep disorder it can put a person in a state of awareness while in REM.

Sometimes I see images, sometimes I just hear people, but there’s always a “dream” going on and because I’m awake, I’m aware that this is happening, so I’ll try to open my eyes but then I can not move. It’s like I’m suffering sleep paralysis but before I even fall asleep. Also, like I said before, this is more frequent during daytime hours.

Hi, narcolepsy and sleepwalking are different sleep disorders.

It can also be due to other disorders like narcolepsy. This sleep disorder is characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, sleep paralysis, cataplexy where the person has episodes of loss of muscle function while awake, hypnagogic hallucinations and automatic behavior. I would advise you to consult a sleep specialist who would assess with first a sleep questionnaire, and then he may ask for a polysomnogram, which is an overnight sleep study as this helps to detect sleep disorders.
If it continues then you should look into a sleep disorder called narcolepsy, as sleep paralysis and hypnagogic hallucinations are both symptoms of this. However, it could be that she may have just had a nightmare.
you might have been going through something called sleep paralysis. this is actually a fairly common thing people go through. the EXACT same thing happened to me once. while i was falling asleep i heard a voice say "I've come for you", or something like that. now im not aware of any cure of this problem. but just know that you cannot, and will not, be physically harmed.
