Amazonian Posted August 11, 2010 ZZZzzzzzz, Sleeping soundly when all of a sudden i woke up and sat up in bed. I couldn't work out what was going on and then realized that i wasn't breathing. I tried to take a breath but it was like i had forgotten how to. I managed to get a breath and begin breathing normally . I was shaken up. It freaked me out. It all only lasted a few seconds but scared the shit out of me.( For a brief part of those seconds , i felt like i was tripp'n). I looked at the time and it was bang on 12.00 midnight ,do doo do doo ( Twilight Zone theme song).( I don't think that the time is relevant ,just wanted to add all details). So, i put it down to Sleep Apnea which i have never experienced before. It's not pleasant. I can now really feel for those that regularly stop breathing whilst sleeping. I don't recommend it .

Amazonian Posted August 12, 2010 My husband probably had a pillow over my head. Na, What i experienced was like some other realm of consciousness. Weird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thelema Posted August 13, 2010 Ive been doing a bit of research lately regarding pharmacological interventions into sleep apnea. 1) One study combined an SSRI (fluoxetine - although I would have used escitalopram) with ondansetron, a 5HT3 antagonist. Sleep apnea was eliminated in around 70% of all sufferers, if I remember rightly. 2) Anecdotal reports suggest pilocarpine (admittedly aministered as eyedrops) ceased sleep apnea too. There is a modern herbal formula which might be cashing in on this choline connection, by peddling lobelia tablets as a herbal sleep apnea cure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazonian Posted August 13, 2010 (edited) I thought sleep apnea was brought on by snoring ?Or adenoid problems. (but of course i don't snore )( i like to think i don't) I have a bit of a cold at the moment and have been coughing a lot.so i put it down to being related to that(phlegm deposits blocking the airway)(or Voodoo). I only know ,i hope i never experience it again. Edited August 14, 2010 by Amazonian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vual Posted August 14, 2010 (edited) You were probably just out of your body and were awaken sharply, hence chucked your astral form back into your body violently, hense causing you to have a minitue of parallelize?? Very Scary stuff, but extremely common. Edited August 14, 2010 by vual Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very Scary stuff, but extremely common. I wouldnt mind that so much if i had a warning. You know, like building up to a trip rather that being just thrown in there. (some like that way though) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
