I've seen GP about my lab tests. Yes I am hypothyroid, she took 2 other thyroid tests, also checking my antibodies. I am low in B-12 and got a shot for that and told to supplement. My pulse is low, thus the arrhythmia increase. It's another week before I see her again with these results. Been a long time diagnosing all this and getting it treated.
During this past month I've had several times of "seeing" odd things, at night while asleep/awaking. When I get light in the room those odd things I see are explained by the smoke detector light, the closet or entry doors. But 2 nights ago I awoke in a huge rush, sensing something in the room with me, saw a huge tall figure standing at bedside; he had one of those little green lights (like a book light) on his forehead and was holding great big oblong white pillow as if to smother me.
I shouted (or thought I did) who are you, what do you want, then screamed help a couple times (or thought I did because DH in another room did not hear me). Putting on the light I find the light was the smoke alarm (little green round light)and pillow was the white oblong door beneath the light. My feeling of terror persisted. I had to sleep in another room with lights on.
Next day my jaw is sore (not terribly unusual for me to clench my teeth in the night) and my neck is stiff on one side (also not unusual for me cause I sleep with 2 pillows propped up on account of acid reflux symptoms. Looking into things, I see that thyroid imbalances can cause night terrors and I am as of now still untreated for this. I do remember the terror vividly. I've never had these types of seizures before. How do I tell what caused this?
