Avatar f tn When I was about three or four (17 now, going on 18), I watched a Golden Book Video and for the next two to three months I'm positive I had visual and auditory hallucinations of what I saw in the video. I'm just thinking about this now because I was talking about me as a kid with my parents. Lol, I was a funny kid.
Avatar m tn Patients with unilateral diaphragm paralysis underwent an evaluation that included a chest radiograph, fluoroscopic sniff test, pulmonary spirometry, and the Medical Research Council (MRC) dyspnea score. Patients with symptomatic unilateral diaphragm paralysis present for at least 6 months were offered video-assisted thoracoscopic diaphragm plication.
136849 tn?1327321510 Hi Ladies, some of you might already know this, but there is a documentary being run on New York PBS channels, so you ladies that can watch it and spread the word for others to watch, here is a cut and paste of the info and link for Libby's Hope where there is a 2 minute video on the preview. Wish it was being shown all over, looks like it's going to a fabulous 30 minute show, but does look like PBS might be spreading it over the next months to come.
377493 tn?1356502149 I respect and understand that not everyone feels the way I do about the situation with the homeless. I am posting this link to a documentary done by the Calgary Police for you to view if you choose. First thing I will tell you is that at the very beginning, it shows people sleeping outside a buidling. The building is the agency I work for. The second thing I will tell you is that I know both of the folks featured in this video extremely well.
Avatar f tn I have not experienced it but I understand that the human body goes into a paralysis when the mind goes to sleep. This protects us from the body reacting to something happening in a dream. I further understand some of us can wake up while still inn the paralyzed state. This should pass quickly to the fully conscious sate and control of our body. If you are having problems with nightmares the approach I used at an age younger than you are now is I trained myself to wake up.
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 My EEGS are clean and I see a therapist, psychiatrist, and have a emotional support dog because this disoder causes paralysis, contortion of my left side mostly my hand, tremors, high heart rate but feeling calm when it's high, fatigue, walking problems, feeling faint, and anxiety which doesn't help it.
Avatar n tn what makes sleep paralysis happen? what can i do to reduce the risk of suffering sleep paralysis? what medication is avalible for this disorder? how effective is it? how does it help? i would be very gratefull to hear off you.
Avatar m 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn I actually get sleep paralysis as well... It won't harm your baby at all.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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?
568812 tn?1379165794 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.
Avatar m tn Hi, suffered sleep paralysis for decades now. No voices etc, just paralysis. WHY doesn't the medical world take an interest in this phenomena, which is more common than I think is believed? It is left to the realm of cultural myths, alien abduction theories, generalized medical mumbling about anxiety - the definition of anything they do not understand or think will get them into trouble by not investigating.
Avatar m tn 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.

Avatar n tn I would just like to add that I read something about Sleep Paralysis. But at no point during these did I have any hallucinations.
