What causes this? Sleep disorder or parasite?

I experience a half awake, half asleep thing that is quite scary. I wake up, not fully awake, can sometimes feel my neck tingling or blood coursing through my neck or head. Sometimes I think my legs or arms or body is jerking around. Just woke up from one and I felt a vibrating sensation in my back near my heart. When I woke up the vibrating sensation stopped abruptly. I was awake enough to hear the vibrations, feel the vibrations etc. I also have sores on my arms and legs. I know we have some bugs in the house some of which may be blood sucking ones. Also should be noted a few years ago someone put very tiny insects in my drink which I ingested. My fiance also has sores on his arms but doesn't have this sleep paralysis. During this I sometimes feel throbbing in my head, tingling in my upper half of my body, etc. The vibrating is new. It honestly felt like something was digging into my back. Could this be a parasite or do you think I have some underlying condition?

Infections of the ear and ear problems in general can also cause these issues.morethantired.com/symptoms-...
