Hi! I totally understand what you are feeling. I feel like I'm on a roller coaster going down that first large hill. The panic feeling goes in and out during the day. As I'm walking or going down steps, I feel that electric shock feeling and hear almost like a static inside my head. It's a lot to contend with every day....Agora1

I got the same thing this week. I have no worries, nothing changed in my life. What I do is I just get up and watch a movie. When I get so tired that I can't keep my eyes opened, I try going to sleep again. One night this worked. Last night, it didn't. I ended up staying up all night and going to work bleary eyed. What works for you? Do you have any idea of the cause?

Yes! I have felt this quite a few times and I didn't know how to explain it to my doc when I went to hospital!

I woke up out of a sleep, my body feels so weak, and the bet way I can describe it is that my body feels like it's a million lbs and like I can sink through my bed like quick sand. I get so scared I get up! Just to make sure I can still move.. And I feel like I will just crumble.

During the time of these episodes, during the day I will have a feeling in my head for a few minutes in just a spot where I feel like I'm on fire! - other times it will feel like a tingling.

Stress/anxiety.. Even in our sleep will do these weird things.
