why do i wake up screaming, out of breath and saying things?

[silvia67]

why do I constantly wake up screaming and out of breath, sometimes i say things that i don't know. I sometimes have very bad nightmares of feeling myself die. i can feel myself rise and saying things at the same time and then i scream and cant catch my breath. Are these nightmares or a Sleeping disorder?

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Your symptoms could be due to  sleep disorders “Nightmare” or "Night terror" disorders . Here the person experiences symptoms of bad, frightening dreams which interfere with his sleep schedules. Disorders related to dreaming could occur with REM sleep behavior disorders. Here the person acts out the dreams. These can be assessed by a sleep questionnaire and therapy is based on the severity of symptoms. Please consult your primary care physician if problem persists.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

hi..i cant give u a big medical and knowing reason and u probably wont want to hear this as i assume you kinda know..but..i..through personal experience think maybe its some sort of stress..,and i know thats what people say to everything,..but i mean in the sense some sort of deep stress..eg..berievement or illness..,i only say this as i experienced more or less the same thing many years ago..and it was because i lost somebody..i didnt realise at the time,but i look back and know now..
i used to wake up thinking i was in another room in my house and i would feel awake and trying to get up off the floor..then when i come around i was actually in my bed but it felt so real..it went on for some time..,
you havent mentioned about any stress..and im sorry if im way off the mark but your post was something i experienced at that point in my life.
sorry if iv rambled and i wish u all the best
