Avatar f tn 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 use of EOG traces shows that eye movement is still possible during such episodes.When there is an absence of narcolepsy, sleep paralysis is referred to as isolated sleep paralysis (ISP). The paralysis may be accompanied by terrifying hallucinations (hypnopompic or hypnagogic) and an acute sense of danger. Sleep paralysis is particularly frightening to the individual because of the vividness of such hallucinations.
568812 tn?1379165794 Like my mom said, I used to get it and be really frightened of it. But at some point I started looking up on the internet, found out about sleep paralysis and read up whatever articles I could find. The ones I found most reassuring where the articles that had a scientific/medical base and left out the supernatural element. Also I learned the parlysis part is natural when the body gets into REM mode. What isn't quite natural is that you are awake durring that REM stage.
Avatar n tn It is usually diagnosed by sleep onset REM sleep (SOREMs), which is dream sleep in multiple episodes of MSLT (multiple sleep latency tests). However, therapy helps to regulate Narcolepsy. She will need to consult her primary care physician, who may schedule her for a polysomnogram (sleep test) to rule out this sleep disorder and initiate appropriate therapy. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar m tn hi, this morning i wasing having a dream when i realized i was in a dream so i woke myself up. One i woke up i was staring at the roof and couldnt move a muscle, i immediately said to myself, Oh sleep paralysis and waiting for the rest of the symptoms but instead my whole body stared shaking side to side for about 10 seconds?????? i thought i was having a fit or something. does anyone know?
Avatar m tn It sounds like it could be sleep paralysis to me. I do that all the time. I thought it was "night terrors." I'm fully aware of everything around me, can hear and everything but can't scream out, can't move, nothing. I learned it was common with narcolepsy. You need to go see your primary care doctor and/or get a referral to a sleep specialist.
Avatar n tn Every couple of months i keep waking in my sleep or so i think and i can see a little boy, An older lady and recently a very scary man with a top hat, i can never see there faces but i can not move at all in my dream and sometimes i just fall asleep and can see what is happening in front of me but cannot move, for example if im having a nap on the settee and the tv is on i no whats happening, and can even see my daughter and partner but i cant talk move or anything it is freaking me out, especia
Avatar f tn Hi, this happens to me all the time. Exactly what your explaining. Last night I was laying in my bed watching a show when I suddenly realized that I was in sleep paralysis. I am completely frozen and I can't move but I can slightly rock my body or legs back and forth. This seems to help wake me up. Anyway all I think in those moments is please someone for the love of God shake me and wake me up! Then a shadow figure walked into my room and put his hand out to touch me.
Avatar f tn Hello. For a few years now there have been times when as I'm falling asleep, it feels like someone grabs gives my leg a hard pull (it happened last night, actually). And there are other times when if I'm having a dream, and something in my dream makes me anxious, I can feel myself start to wake up,or I'm aware that it's a dream (or both), and I fully wake up to my heart racing.
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 n tn I am getting real dizzy spells while sleeping...they start in my dream and wake me up...my eyes won´t focus on anything...the dizzy spells are so bad, i break out in a cold sweat and have to throw up..then they carry on thru the day...I had this same problem last year at this time...the dizzy starts it seems while i am sleeping on my left side...but only this time of year..
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 m tn Its your choice. You control it. I will myself to wake up. I just say its a dream, its a dream, its a dream, wake up, wake up , wake up over and over. And after a while even thou I am doubting it all I always, always wake up as do you. With no injuries. No evidence that it was real, because it isnt. Just complete silence and everything as it was. Its the brain getting confused. Its ok. You are ok. I promise you.
Avatar f tn I dont really have nightmares, but when i have it has not been the same night as a panic attack.

Avatar f tn Hi all, The other night, I went though what I believe to have been a moment of sleep paralysis. It was in the morning when I had woken up too early and tried to get back to sleep for another hour or so. I can't really describe, but I felt like I had a concious control over my dream, like I was aware of what was going on during it. Well, it turned into a nightmare where I was drowning and the next thing I knew I felt as though I was paralyzed.
Avatar f tn There are two main types of scary phenomenons in sleep(nightmare and sleep paralysis) that are caused by two main scary symptoms of cardiovascular disease {palpitation and fainting (syncope)}.
Avatar f tn I also have very poor memory, extremely vivid and realistic dreams (often nightmares), exceptional dream recall, regular sleep paralysis (sometimes several times in a week), lots of lucid dreaming and learning difficulties. I don't suffer from migraines often (twice or three times a year at worst), but when I do I have some strange symptoms. Dark spaces make it worse while exposure to light eases the pain slightly.
Avatar f tn What you are experiencing is called sleep paralysis and hypnogogic hallucinations. Sleep paralysis happens when you start to wake out of a dream but your brain wakes up while your body is still paralyzed (during REM or dream sleep you are paralyzed so you wont hurt yourself acting out your dreams). The hypnogogic hallucinations are related. Do you have panic attacks or narcolepsy by any chance? My doctor told me both those problems make your specific sleep problems more likely.
Avatar m tn s like that my body start to paralyse and i go in deep sleep and then it holds me tightly pushing me in crushing way my heart beat faster but because i am use to it i relax myself when it comes and i fight it back and trying to twist it break it, even if i wake up and sleep straight away it will come back like 9 times in one night I have to totaly get awake and change my sleeping position, look if u have it in bad way and u scare to get u worse ask for someone who have big knowledge in islam onl
1544075 tn?1296026498 Maybe do a little reading about sleep paralysis and then consider having a sleep study done. Honestly, when I got of the benzodiazepines, the worst of it stopped.
436338 tn?1204359355 Medications, including tricyclic antidepressants such as imipramine, may be prescribed for severe cases of sleep terrors as a temporary solution. In many cases, though, sleep terrors resolve themselves over time. Keep updating of any visit to Neurophysician or sleep specialist. Take care.
Avatar m tn Your chest muscles are very hard to move so it feels like you are being choked but you are not. You are just in a dream state and in a normal state of paralysis, evolved probably to stop us acting out our dreams. The difference with us is for some reason we become conscious during this time, while the message to paralyze us is still being sent by the brain. Some brilliant scientific boffin please do a doctorate on this and tell us WHY?
Avatar n tn Keep this in mind while you are panicking. There are such things as sleep seizures, and this may explain the ringing in your ears etc. In your case it is definitely worth raising this with whoever is controlling your epilepsy. For some reason sleep paralysis is not taken seriously, unless it is associated with daytime uncontrolled sleepiness (narcolepsy). I think it should be researched more, as this is such a powerfully negative experience for so many people.
Avatar f tn Sleep paralysis Is normal when in REM (Dreaming mostly there) sleep. It is unusual that you wake up before the paralysis passes. But, I think you do not have to worry that you can't wake up. I have never experience what you describe, but I have lots of weird dreams that I remember long enough to keep me awake and depressed during periods up to an hour or more before I fall back to sleep.
Avatar m tn Hi, welcome to the forums, your symptoms are suggestive of rapid eye movement (REM) related parasomnias involve the intrusion of the features of REM sleep into wakefulness (eg, sleep paralysis). It is a type of sleep disorder. Few of the individuals are known to suffer from parasomnias esp. when they are on non-benzodiazepine sedaives, drug abuse, sexual abuse etc. otherwise no definitive cause exists in few individuals apart from stress, positive past history of abuse etc.
