Sleep paralysis, false awakenings & extreme fatigue

[Wyssa]

So I was just wondering if anyone else had sleep paralysis with chiari? They are really scary for me, when I can't wake up, and I'll have several false awakenings thinking I have awoken. During the day I'm extremely exhausted all the time and sleep for on average 15 hours a day. Does anyone else have this?

Thanks I'll have to look into it!

  Hi...I do believe we have had someone mention the sleep paralysis, but that is not as common as sleep disturbances,,...which could be sleep apnea.

Chiari alone can cause sleep issues, fatigue etc....

Pain can also cause fatigue.....

Talk to ur Dr about these issues and deff have a sleep study done, u can have one done in ur own home which gives better results and is over 3 nights....look into NovaSom...ur Dr should be able to arrange this and INS should cover it as well.
