I'm not sure what's happening?!
Question: I'm not sure what's happening!?
I'm beginning to get scared of going to sleep!. I need some help!.
Let me explain!.
Ok, this is what happens!. I will fall asleep normally, just like any regular night (this has only happened a few times)!. While sleeping, my covers become skin-tight, or at least feel that way!. I hear the noise of roaring wind, even though my window is shut!. I can barely breathe (I can only take in short, rapid breathes)!. I can't move (the last time it happened I tried to leave the room, but I could not move an inch no matter how hard I tried)!. I get cold, but then suddenly start to sweat!. Finally, I have the uncontrollable feeling that I'm going to die!. I've kept my eyes shut during every "attack", because I'm too scared to look!.
Each time it only lasts about a minute, but it is the worst feeling of fear I can recall experiencing!. I want it to stop, or at least know what it is!.
Is this what a panic attack is, or is there something else wrong with me!?
I'm sure that my house isn't haunted (if that is what you are thinking), because I moved recently and it still happens sometimes!.
I know you might be thinking that this a joke since people do like to mess with people here, but I'm serious!. I really do want any help you can offer!. Thank you very much!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sleep Paralysis !.!.!.!. you have been stressed recently and this can cause what you are experiencing!. You do not need to start medication for this, all you need to do is make sure you are eating well, excersise and keep a good sleep pattern (not to many late nights) & stop worrying :)
Symptoms of sleep paralysis can be either one of the following or a combination:
* Paralysis: this occurs after waking up or shortly before falling asleep!. The person cannot move any body part, cannot speak, and only has minimal control over blinking and breathing!. This paralysis is the same paralysis that occurs when dreaming!. The brain paralyzes the muscles to prevent possible injury during dreams, as some body parts may move during dreaming!. If the person wakes up suddenly, the brain may still think that it is dreaming, and sustains the paralysis!.
* Hallucinations: Images or speaking that appear during the paralysis!. The person may think that someone is standing beside them or they may hear strange sounds!. These may be dreamlike, possibly causing the person to think that they are still dreaming!. Often it is reported as feeling a weight on one's chest, as if being underneath a person or heavy object!.
These symptoms can last from mere seconds to several minutes (although they can feel like much longer) and can be frightening to the person!. There may be some body movement, but it is very unlikely and hard for a person to accomplish!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
