I’m not sure what’s going on with me, but just a few minutes ago I woke up screaming for my life. I don’t even know what happened and I barely remember what it was.
My right arm was competely numb and I felt like I had crossed a point of no return in my chest. I don’t think it was a heart attack, I’m quite alright now, but I felt like I was going to die.
I’ve suspect I have sleep apnea that keeps getting worse and worse. I wake up suddenly if I fall asleep while sitting down and every time it gets harder and harder to wake up. Until today that I woke up in a huge panic after lying down on my bed.
My head feels foggy and I feel uncertain. I don’t know what to do. I can’t go see a specialist or a doctor for that matter. But, fuck, I thought I was a gonnet for a second.
Do you sleep on the arm that gets numb? I remember reading that usually the body tries prevent loss of circulation and nerve pinching during sleep by jolting you awake so you move a little. Maybe you don’t move enough during sleep and you brain has to resort to more extreme measures to prevent damaging you limb. Maybe try doubling up on pillows so there’s less chance to pinch of your arm.
