Some help or advice?
Fri, 01/08/2016 - 18:58Hey, I'll try to keep this short.. I have been experiencing a lot of things at night, it's been going on for years. The doctors are just suspecting epilepsy but it will take a while to see a neurologist so it would be great to see if my symptoms match those of epilepsy.
At night I stop breathing a lot, hallucinate, drool and sweat, when I wake up I have no idea where I am and tend to believe strange things like someone has stolen my kitchen and Justin Bieber is the president. I always feel like I am falling through the bed, but with my entire body. Sometimes I wake up and have to run to the bathroom because I think I'm going to be sick but I can't be sick. Sometimes I wake up and violently shake, like vibrate. My body tenses and I can't talk or move for a few minutes and it's hard to breathe. I also get a voice in my head sometimes that tells me to do things (I understand how that sounds.)
I know that epilepsy is different for everyone, but does any of this sound familiar? Any help would be highly appreciated, thank you :)
