Common Questions and Answers about Sleep paralysis seizure
sleep-paralysis
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.
Q:Are they connected maybe?
A:The answer literally is 'maybe'.....one of the problems with connecting isolated and completely different types of events months to years apart to being 'partial focal aware' seizure related activity, is the lack of similarity or repetition of what you've experienced with each event you've described is what makes epileptic seizures less likely than more.
The first type of seizure you described sounds like an absence seizure. Was your boyfriend put on medication of any sort? Did the evaluation(s) he had reveal anything else?
The second "seizure" does not seem at all like sleep paralysis. It could have been any of a number of things, from seizure to night terror. The severity of the event, along with his and your reaction, make me think he should see a doctor about this very soon.
The actual cause of sleep paralysis is not understood. But sleep paralysis can run in families and people who have narcolepsy.
Sleep paralysis can be treated with clonazepam, Studies show that vitamin B12 improves sleep patterns but not enough evidence show prevention of sleep paralysis. Reducing stress and getting the proper amount of sleep may be beneficial. Learn to recognize your symptoms and the triggers of your sleep paralysis.
Hello,
All these symptoms look like paralysis of the right side of the face.Bell’s palsy can be a reason for this.Bell’s palsy is paralysis of the facial nerve or VII nerve.It is a weakness or paralysis of the muscles that control expression on one side of your face. The disorder results from damage to one of a pair of facial nerves that runs beneath each ear to the muscles in your face.
The severity of Bell's palsy can range from mild weakness to total paralysis on one side of your face.
Hey everyone. I'm coming here to ask about something that's been happening to me every so often for the past year. I chose this random morning to post, because I've reached the point at which I can no longer go on without knowing how to solve my problem, or even knowing what it really is. I'm afraid to go to sleep, because that's when my "episodes" occur. Just this morning I woke up at 6:30 AM to have one of the worst ones yet, and now here I sit.. Typing.
During sleep a phase comes called as Rapid Eye Movement or REM sleep. During this phase the sleep is deepest. During this sleep the muscles go in a paralysis like state and the person sleeping appears to be ‘dead to the world’. If there is a disorder off this phase of sleep, then muscle paralysis like state does not happen and the person ends up flailing, grabbing, jumping, falling out of bed, kicking, talking trashing etc.
I am no stranger to sleep paralysis, I get short 3 - 4 second periods of these at least 6 - 8 times a month. This on the other hand was earlier today after a long sleep, I woke up for a bit and turned around in bed, all of a sudden i lose muscle control in all of my body. this also only lasts a short time, maybe 10 seconds or so. The difference in this episode is the fact that I had absolutely no hallucinations and the likes which i have always had before with sleep paralysis.
As I understand you experience episodes of 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.
Unfortunately, there is no practical way to decipher between normal REM sleep and sleep paralysis. This is because in normal REM sleep you experience the same paralysis as in sleep paralysis; the only difference is your level of consciousness at the time. So there's no way to develop a sensor that an app could use to address this issue.

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.
Physiologically, sleep paralysis is closely related to REM atonia, the paralysis that occurs as a natural part of REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. Sleep paralysis occurs either when falling asleep, or when awakening. When it occurs upon falling asleep, the person remains aware while the body shuts down for REM sleep, and it is called hypnagogic or predormital sleep paralysis.
