Epilepsy or just dreaming?Hi Guys,
I have mentioned to my partner a number of times the kind of things I experience whilst I'm asleep and he thinks I may just be having a re-curring dream but this morning I had one that lasted longer and now I'm not too sure. My sister mentioned a few years ago that it may be epilepsy When I have one of these episodes it frightens me. I am 28 years old, male and in good health. The first episode that really sticks out hapened about 6-7 years ago. I had just nodded off in bed after a night out and then I felt as though something was pushing me down in my bed and I couldn't move, I was sort of paralysed. I was aware/had a sense of awareness all around me and then the only way that I can describe what happened next is if you imagine just opening a bottle of fizzy pop and then pouring a glass, the frantic bubbles that you see, well that's how my whole body especially my head feels. (sorry there is no other way that i can descrive it). It feels as though my whole body is 'fizzing' and the sound is like a long 'buzzing' sound that goes louder and then quieter. I put this down to the night out before and maybe I was dreaming. I have spoke to a few people since where they have expereineced some of this where they cannot move and I have thoght well maybe it's quite common. From then I had these episodeds very rarely. Over the last 2 years they are becoming very common and are still doing so. I still feel like I cannot move and in a parlyzed state as though I'm geting pushed down. I have the awareness of things around me i.e I hear people going up and down the stairs. The volume of the 'buzziness' and 'fizziness' are there. During these times I have tried to speak to tell my partner but can't speak and I have tried to will my arm to touch him to make him aware but cannot. My partner hasn't noticed anything either which again leads me to believe I'm dreaming. I only experience these when I just drop off to sleep wake up. I also get a deja vu feeling sometimes as if i can remember a comment/conversation that I've had and that comes and goes very quickly along with my stomach sinks very quickly and my heart sort of skips which wakes me up??? Today I just got back home from dropping my partner at work and fell asleep on the sofa. I had an episode which lasted much longer than normal, (the fizzing and buzzing). I also thought that I had got up and caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror which i didn't. I wasn't worried about any of this before and thought that I was dreaming? Now because they are increasing, now probably to twice a month I'm starting to worry. I'm def going to my doctor to discuss this but I was wondering what you guys thought? do any of you have these symptoms and what do you think to the fizzing/buzzing? Cheers
