So while I'm asleep iv had it while falling to sleep but this is while I'm asleep aswell I will be dreaming ect next minute I can't breathe I feel I'm suffocating it's disturbing it's like my body freezes and I try to move about and I can't or I try to scream then I ask my partner if u screamed no his answer is always it don't happen all the time just sometimes but mainly when asleep on the couch ?
Iv read about sleep paralysed and also apnea but my partner does not seem to think I have apnea cause he has never witness me stop breathing during sleep it scary when I wake up and remember what happened does anybody else get this I had a 5 hour nap!!! It was needed as I got only a couple hours last night but because of the breathing thing I've woken up anxiouse and feeling ruff
this sounds ridiculous and you wont believe it now but you are probably still in a dream-like state! ive had this 1000s of times. do you suffer from anxiety?
Maybe go to a sleep clinic for a test before this is written off as anxiety. Does not matter if your partner thinks your tip top or not. They should see what is occuring. Then a doc can help you if its severe anxiety.
Iv had it on and off since I had my first child so nearly 6 years I can remember having it once when I was having a nightmare when I was about 14 but I don't have a clue what's going on and it's scary and makes me scared to go back to sleep yeah I have really bad anxiety mainly health but I do have other anxiety aswell how long have you had it for is it while your still asleep ?
I don't know how to get my doctor to send me to one ? I mentioned it before and the doctor laughed and said wow you have some kind of freaky sleep disorder and I just did a mumble little laugh back because I did not know how to react this has been occurring for years but comes back at different times I did not know if it was some kind of panic attack in my sleep I started having breathing problems during the day too so iv had ecg heart ultrasound and holter all come back ok so they have told me they is not much else to do and it all seems to be stress/anxoety but that was for while I'm awake not when I'm asleep and paralyzed
Anxiety causes weird sleep disturbances and dreams!!! I've had it when I've been asleep but felt like I was awake and I've sat ther for hours like was I awake or asleep, I call out for my mum in my sleep then I ask her if I called out for her and she says no! Trust me it's anxiety! I was sooooo freaked out with things that happened in my sleep at one point xxx
and the paralyzed feeling you get.... I've had that and I haven't been able to come out from my covers or breathe or anything! It's scary but it can't kill you xxxx
Oh no I honestly thought I was the only one I Google it and it comes up with when your awake ect it happens as drifting off and then brought up apnea can't belive you get it aswell nobody ever understands me xx
