Sleep Disorder.....what should I do?!
Question:
Sleep Disorder.....what should I do?
I started experiencing this weird thing, of what I believe is a sleep disorder, about 3yrs ago. Its kind of hard to explain, but I am going to do my best. My problem is that when I lay down, and began to fall asleep, i suddenly wake up startled. Sometimes it can go on for a few minutes, until I am finally able to go to sleep. I went to the ER about it awhile back, and was told by the ER doc, that I need to stop drinking soda so much. Back then, I was drinking about 5-10 pepsi's a day. Now I am done to about 1-2 a week, and I now it rarely happens. But now when it happens I cant help but worry about my health. Is this a sleep disorder, or something else?
Answers:
Don't know about it being a sleep disorder, but I often do that when I am very tired. If you are really concerned about it and it is a problem, there are Sleep Disorder clinics all around the country now. Check with your doctor or local hospital and see where there is one in your area. They are the places that evaluate and treat sleep disorders.
