Sleep Paralysis + Epilepsy History
So im 27 with history of childhood absence siezures and its been 15 years since ive been free of them. Im diagnosed adhd. Was on Strattera for a spell during high school but didnt continue for college. Recently, like day before 9/11 I was trying to fall asleep because my brain just doesn't want to no matter how tired I am. I relaxed, was all comfy, got in a good sleep position and felt myself falling asleep. Right at the last moment I felt my brain get stuck. Like a real time glitch, but not a brain zap. I couldn't breathe in the 10 seconds I was in it. Literally felt like a siezure and my hands did contact and my fingers did a weird pulse but then I was able to break out of it and breathe and move. To someone watching me it would've looked like a small series of small twitches. Nothing grand or dramatic. That's how aware I was during this. I know how siezures look but this would've been on the smaller side. Anyone else felt this? It's on par to when a guy falls asleep and they do that weird twitch in their sleep and it kinda annoys you except they dont remember and you do cuz it freaks you out xD
