I have a nero appointment. I awaken all night long over and over to jumping up, my whole body clenching and stiffening. It lasts a few seconds and I go back to sleep to have it happen again and again. My last neuro gave me a sleep study and I had 96 arousals in under two hours. He said it is NOT sleep apnea but doesn't know what I have. He threw me cymbalta and klonopin. I have not taken it . I did not tell him about my daytime "episodes" since he didn't seem interested. My husband gave me a xanax before sleep which did nothing. When I was little my mom told me that I would wake up from sleep with a gasp. I've had these jump ups for years and years but now it has gotten to the point of no sleep.
My daytime episoded are I get a feeling in my stomach. It maybe clenches. My heart will beat faster and I feel myself disasociating . I cannot walk a straight line well and become clumsy. I can talk but it's like I have to force myself to look normal. I just really get very quite and stare like I'm spaced out. Which is how I feel. I get very clumsy and drop things. It feels like I do not want to talk and just feel like going into a room and be alone until it passes. I don't even tell my family that it is happening. I feel embarrassed because I think it's "just anxiety". But I've had panic attacks already and one thing that I definetly DON'T feel like sitting still through an panic attack like I do when this happens. My mom who is in her 70's always notices when I get this and I can see her looking at me funny and asking if I'm okay.
Could this have anything to do with my night symptoms or is it all anxiety related? Thank you so much.
