Problems breathing, when I'm waking up I am paralyzed ?!


Question: Problems breathing, when I'm waking up I am paralyzed !?
It's like I have to focus and concentrate to finally turn myself over to like 'free' myself and breathe again!. I feel half asleep/half awake, its scary!.

I do take sedative type medications!.

Has anyone experienced anything like this!? Are these warning signs!?
Thanks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Some sedatives will cause a temporarily paralysis upon waking up!.

What are you taking, if you care to say!? I felt a very similar side effect when taking benzos (Xanax, Valium, Clonazepam etc!.)!. Again, the temporary paralysis thing!.

There is a phenomenon known as sleep paralysis,where the body(muscular/skeletal) basically is not in sync when the brain awakes from R!.E!.M stage of sleep and remains paralyzed,for a brief period!.!.!.!.!.!.That's a possibility!.!.!.However,I would check with your health care provider and ask about possible side effects of your current medication,to see if this could be initiating the episodes!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I answered a question about something like that awhile back and they called it "sleep paralysis"!. that might be a good keyword for you to find out more!. Sorry I don't know anything about this, but I thought maybe that term might help as a good starting place!.
I'm also wondering if you could be having a reaction to the med!? I think it at least warrants a call to your Dr!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
