chest-tightening and weird weakness followed by headlightning in bed

Posted , 3 users are following.

I'm struggling to get to sleep chsuse the heart acting strange during when i trying to sleep. so I remain a long time before I get to sleep, so I go to a psychologist and have got a sleep diary to write. I have radiation feeling in my legs sometimes when I lie and try to sleep, and simple jerks can come on my right body arm, before I am about to try fall asleep (not just during when im about to sleep as the hypnagogic jerks). I sit up in panic in the bed and scream. this is because I get feelings of being sucked out of life, to die simply, and i somethimes seeing orange/blue spots that are big. I see yellow-orange and sometimes blue holes on the walls and when I try to brush the hole away with my hand, it disappears. so right after this hole sightnings, it come irregular palpitations in my heart. it can be extremely rapid heartbeat that is extremely scary so i have to hyperventilate to get breath, and gives body discomfort, or there may be irregularities like heartstop ferlings that provides as much discomfort. this heart troubbles occur more than 9 timeds episodes, before i sleep. many of them i dont remember, if i have got sleeping. theyre worst the first sleep peroiod. these holes and shadows and dots I see when I go to sleep oroin wakes up in the living room and in bed. all places, come every time right before and something after the heart skips episodes, as a "warning" that now comes the discomfort. so I scream when the heart itrreggularity takes place, because It get heavily to breathe for a moment there the heart skips. and then hyperventilating I 4/3 times to get the discomfort away. sometimes when the heart skips i feel strange and sometimes my chest pressures. so even if I go to sleep on 23.00, I have in recent months not fell asleep after at time 00:30. I dream psycho dreams, that I wrestled with deceased relatives. and I wake up a lot of these apnealike stuff, and first part of the night is mostly characterized by panic awakenings and hyperventilation and that I will "survive". but the rest of the night I sleep fine. but many a times I do not remember that I have hyper-ventilated or paniced. I'm on days are very forgetfull (forgetful and forget weekdays). heart was normal last year I took the 24 hour EKG because heart also skipped at days and nights for a while. I go to sleep registration with a Respironics sleep clock from the hospital now for it to be recorded if I sleep well or poorly. i last year took 2 regular one hour eeg with some hyperventilation also in that eeg. no epileptic activity was seen. but if i havent had autism, i had had epilepsy, bechause autism waves are mutch like some epileptic activity in brain. can this what i experiencing during sleeptime be a form of nocturnal epilepsy seizures? (i have never sleeped on a eeg before, bechause i have never settled down on the sleep deprivation eeg on 1 hour bechause of loud hodpitalhellicopter and couching voices from the nurse in the room). i have never token a 24 hour eeg neiter.

    If this is occuring as you are going to sleep (and not before), it may be worth videoing yourself as you are going to sleep. This may say if it is before, as or after that then could assist when the issue is happening if you're not aware.With my epilepsy, I was waking up at 2am sick only to find out that after filming, it was beginning when I was going to sleep (10pm). The complexity and symptoms you have make it hard from a distance to comment regarding the cause without physical parameters before sleep (blood pressure, heart rate etc).  Other aspects (food, drinks etc) also could  contribute to it. 

    Good luck

    You really do need to se a neurologist who specialises in epilepsy and sleep disorders. I suspect he or she will wish you to be admitted for video telemetry monitoring.

    Are u in the UK?
