thank you very much for the info dr park, but why does this happen at a specfic amount of time like 30 mins to 1 hr after i sleep.. is it because that when my muscles begin to relax...
Yes, an apnea can cause a severe panic attack, causing you to wake up suddenly in a state of panic. Sometimes, the confusion that happens from the arousal can make you sleepwalk, talk or eat.
Hello, this is almost exactly what I experience. I will jump out of my bed and subconsciously walk across the room, turn on a light, and I am only barely aware. But as soon as I wake up, the racing heart slows down and I recall the event as in I felt as if I were dying or something very seriously wrong. But once I wake up good, it all goes completely away. Like you I though I had OSA and my doctor thought maybe so too but I had a sleep study and I did not have it. I look forward to the doctors answer, also. Oh, and I don't know why it happens so shortly after falling asleep...usually about 30 mins to an hour for me as well. Do you have anxiety issues while awake?
