Avatar f tn I seem to tremble like I'm about to have a seziure when I'm sleep. Then when I get up, I began to tremble even more. It feels like I'm freezing. I cover up with lots of blankets, then I calm down.
2143567 tn?1342539031 Hey Dr. Anitha. After looking up "night terror" disorder, I came across something on Sleep paralysis found on this website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_paralysis and it sounds an awful lot like what I have. In addition, the paralysis may be accompanied by terrifying hallucinations (hypnopompic or hypnagogic) and an acute sense of danger.[9] Sleep paralysis is particularly frightening to the individual because of the vividness of such hallucinations.
Avatar f tn My personal experience is that I was having apnea events during REM when I had sleep paralysis. I have only experienced it once or twice since starting apnea therapy (CPAP) and have been able to correlate it with the data from my machine that, yup, I was having an apnea when it happened. Have you had a sleep study done? Do you have symptoms of apnea? It's worth checking out. I'm glad I did. I feel SO much better now.
Avatar f tn Sometimes when im falling asleep(not yet fully asleep,in and out of it,semi conscious) and already dreaming, ill see something that causes a great feeling of fear in me, ill then begin to fight falling asleep as i get this feeling of dread because i know what is about to happen which is like something completely gripping or overcoming me(like a prescence), a great feeling of fear or terror, complete immobility or paralysis and a violent shaking experience in my brain.
Avatar n tn One night i looked into it and only found sleep paralysis etc it mention it happens sleeping on my back which i was doing and i had it 8 times in a night once which was a horrifying experience. After the experience i feel weak, and when i do sleep on my side its uncomfortable and when i have one leg ontop of the other it reoccurs also.. also a drink before i sleep one with sugar in seems to trigger it off also..
Avatar n tn The scientific community calls this sleep paralysis. You can google it and find out all about it. I've had it happen to me at the most stressful times of my life, looking back. Because of the overwhelming feeling of the evil presence in my room when it happens, it impacted me a lot. I already believe in God, but it did turn me closer to Him. It didn't happen for about 10 yrs or so, but about a year ago, it started.
Avatar f tn then it will go away and i feel exhausted, dizzy and just icky all around. I thought at first this could be sleep paralysis, but im not seeing creepy things or anything like that, just my bedroom. Could this be seizures??
Avatar f tn ok, so I found out this is called sleep paralysis. Nothing to worry about, here's some info if you have/had these problems I did:) http://en.wikipedia.
Avatar f tn It may have been, but it could have been something called sleep paralysis. Your body goes into a "paralyzed state" if you will, every time you go to sleep. Sometimes your brain will wake up before your body...it can be an extremely frightening experience. All you can do is lay there...you are awake mentally, but you can't yell out, sit up, or anything else. I have had these many times in the past...scary as heck...
Avatar m tn Hi, welcome to the forum, sleep paralysis can be a manifestation of type of sleep disorder like parasomnias. Any other brain organic lesions needs to be ruled out with the help of MRI. Few of the individuals are known to suffer from parasomnias esp. when they are on non-benzodiazepine sedatives, drug abuse etc. otherwise no definitive cause exists in few individuals apart from stress, positive past history of abuse etc.

1755089 tn?1376053555 Sounds like it could be Sleep paralysis .Sleep paralysis is associated with sleep that may occur in healthy persons or may be associated with narcolepsy, cataplexy, and hypnagogic hallucinations. The pathophysiology of this condition is closely related to the normal hypotonia that occurs during REM sleep.When considered to be a disease, isolated sleep paralysis is classified as MeSH D020188. Some evidence suggests that it can also, in some cases, be a symptom of migraine.
497096 tn?1210171736 I feel you might probably be having rythmic movement disorder and/or sleep paralysis due to the sleep deprivation. Hence it is better you consult a neurologist or a sleep specialist and get investigated. Try to relax and overcome your stress. Going to bed as early as possible and avoiding smoking, alcohol and excessive tea/coffee in evenings may help. Take care and share your thoughts.
Avatar f tn 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. This also may be of interest to you: I have a service dog whose primary task is medical alert.

Avatar f tn 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.

Avatar n tn 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.
