Desperate for help

[Afraid2die]

About 20mins ago I jumped up out of my sleep catching my breath feeling like I am dying. (I am soooo tired of this!!! Happening) This has been going on for 5 years. I usually jump up out of my sleep screaming or hitting. My husband said that one time I scratched him. (Some of these episodes I do not recall) the other night I jumped up, screamed and then bit down on my pillow in a panic😳😰😖..right now I am very sad because i want this to stop I am also having a feeling of DOOM....its not every night that it happens....but it happens enough.

I had two sleep studies and they both came back normal. ( of course at the time of the studies i had not ONE episode. ) I really think that one of these episodes is going to take me out....I will die. Does anyone know what sort of specialty doctor to see for this. PLEASE HELP ME I dont want to die.

I don’t really know what to say to you other then I hope you can sort it. See if you can have another sleep study done, how often does it happen?

sounds like you're having issues with night terrors. I would talk to your primary doctor about it. I used to get them as a kid. They suck.

I’ve been dealing with this for a month on and off some nights it’s really bad where I only get an hours sleep some nights I can sleep through
