I have had night terrors my whole life, not often until recently. I'm waking up and seeing people in my room (and once a spider!). 2 nights ago it was a lady with a white dress with green flowers on it on the roof above my bed and I woke up trying to brush her dress out of the way, that's usually when my partner turns the light on and I realise I'm screaming but I can't stop. It is one of the scariest things I have ever experienced.
I don't remember until my partner will bring it up the next day and then I remember it clearly.
I guess I'm stressed but no more then usual. I have had auras that led to migraines then long periods of sleep and night terrors since I was a child.
When I was 20 I had 1 grandmal and 3 complex partial seizures in one night and have had none since though I still take medication for it (I'm 26 now).
What I want to know is if the two are connected? Am I having seizures in my sleep and night terrors after? Are the night terrors warning there is a seizure coming? Or is this just a tired/stressed/symptoms of meds thing?
I'm on a waiting list to see a specialist but I'm beginning to panic that I will have a seizure, oh lets add panic attacks (only in times of heavy stress) to the list.
Is anyone going through this too?
Thanks, Lauren
