Seizure in sleep?

"Sleeping, excruciating pain, feel like my entire body is in a paint shaker, screaming in pain screaming very loudly, feels like it lasts 30,40 seconds. Open my eyes and it is over. Did it happen? Was it a dream. She asked me what happened. Why did she ask me? Was I screaming did I say something in my sleep? What was that?"

This is something I wrote this morning after I woke up for the second time after returning to sleep after this event. "She" is of course a real person, however I have not been able to get a hold of her to figure out what happened last night. I have two cavernous angiomas, one on my right insular and one between my lateral ventricles. This event was very painful, like nothing I have experienced from a dream. Has anyone experienced something like this?

Hi, how are you feeling now and how about your sleep now a days. Such episodes does cause sleep disturbacne and restlessness in some of people. It could be a night terror or a nighmare. Too much stressed body and mind do not get proper rest and may be a triggering factor. You need to see a neurologist if symptoms worsens further. Keep posting your thoughts. Take care.

Hello.

This is probably a night terror. You typically don't remember what happened as you wake up. You must be seeing a horrible dream, but you forget it as soon as you are awake. This is in contrast to nightmares, where you do remember what you saw.
