Waking Up Crying and Sleep Paralysis: Causes and Solutions

Patient's Query

Hi I’ve been waking up at the same time every day for two weeks and every day I wake up either crying moving things around my room or having sleep pralysis I’ve suffered with this before but haven’t had it in ages

Answered by Dr. Vikas Patel

Slee­p paralysis is a sleep disorder that make­s you feel stuck. Your brain wakes up, but your body doe­sn't. This causes temporary paralysis which can be scary. You might fe­el afraid or confused. See­ing things move or crying are part of this expe­rience. To reduce­ sleep paralysis, have a re­gular sleep routine. Go to be­d at the same time e­ach night. Avoid screens before­ bed. If it keeps happe­ning, talk to a sleep specialist. The­y can guide you on what to do.

Several months ago, I experienced a sudden and strong fear in one of the cafes, to the point that I felt a squeeze in my heart, pain, and a very strong palpitation, as if it had reached my stomach. I had to cough to relieve the palpitations and suffocation. Days later, I quickly became afraid of the simplest, even daily, situations, even if a simple emotion caused me strong palpitations and suffocation. And the tremors and coldness of the extremities. I read about diseases of the adrenal gland and became very afraid. The condition increased with great fear. I now cannot stand leaving the house and am very afraid of any feelings, even if the feelings are happiness or good feelings and also i get dizzy when i stand up too fast is it possible that there is something dangerous with the adrenal gland?

Hi. I suffer from severe OCD, anxiety and depression and I'm on two antidepressants - fluoxetine and mirtazapine. I am wondering about the efficacy of vortioxetine in treating OCD, anxiety and depression and whether replacing mirtazapine with vortioxetine will bring improvement to my mental health. I can't find any information on Google. Both of them are atypical antidepressants. Is vortioxetine superior or inferior to mirtazapine in general? Someone told me that vortioxetine is "very mild" in terms of efficacy. Is that true? Thank you.

Male | 25

Like mirtazapine, vortioxetine is believed to help with anxiety, depression, and OCD. Some trials have shown vortioxetine may be useful for these conditions. However, everyone reacts to drugs differently. Therefore, you must talk to your doctor about any changes in your medication so that they can find something that will work for you.

Actually I am unable to sleep properly at night. Even I sleep a night properly after 4-5 sleepless nights.

Female | 23

It is critical to know the underpinning of your lack of sleep. Sleep loss can be caused by factors such as stress, anxiety, depression, and medical conditions. It is recommended you see a psychiatrist to identify and eliminate the sleeping problem's primary reason.

Male | 17

It seems like you might be going through depression or anxiety. These factors may impair your capacity to focus and an activity you used to enjoy. I suggest seeking advice from a mental health professional to review your symptoms and to talk about the treatment options. They will work with you to design a plan that fits your needs, so that you can feel better and more active.

I'm 26 I have autism ocd Suspected ADHD and suspected fibromyalgia I'm taking 15mg of escitalopram It's making me fall asleep from 6 am to 8 am What should I do? I take it in the evening

Male | 26

Escitalopram might be making you feel too drowsy in the morning like it's the reason you are going to sleep. This case is more or less the same with some people. An example of one thing you might do is to consume it earlier in the evening, for instance, right before you eat. This way, you may later be tired but not in the morning. If the problem continues, bring it up with your doctor.

Various factors can contribute to this reaction, such as stress or underlying medical conditions. If you're concerned, it's important to consult a doctor for accurate evaluation and guidance on your symptoms and medication. Never alter your medication regimen without medical advice.

Headaches & fever in your daughter could be due to physical illness, tension, stress, or anxiety. Depression also causes headaches and fever, but it's usually accompanied by other symptoms, such as low mood, disrupted sleep, loss of interest, and other physical and mental signs. Consult your  nearest doctor for evaluation.
