I know what you mean but I have strange symptoms.
I will start falling asleep and just when i feel really relaxed i will get something that feels like a wave of energy. It will start very quickly as a pain in my chest and rapidly move outward through my body all the way to my fingers and toes. I will be then be wide awake and my heart will pound for a minute or so. Then i will relax and start to fall asleep and it will happen all over again.
This keeps me up so often that i am up all night and cannot function during the day. I''m ashamed to admit it but i have started turning to drinking beer to help me sleep, and the days i don't drink i take sleeping pills. At this time i honestly feel better in the morning after downing a 6-pack and sleeping than staying sober and being awake all night. I have been to the hospital, i have been to 3 different doctors and no one can tell me what is wrong, all they ever do is prescribe sleeping pills. After reading this thread i am starting to think it might be sleep apnea (i'm a tubby mofo but i wear the weight really well) Does anyone have a number or a website i can go to without a Doctor's referral? Any help would be appreciated....i am really at my wits end here.
