Need to know what I'm experiencing.

Post Reply New Topic

I've had this when I was a small kid. Usually I'm sleeping, and then all of a sudden I wake up, and in a few seconds my mind scrambles and I feel like if I'm in another world, together with a headache. Sometimes I just start laughing, and after that happens, usually a minute or less, I become dizzy, nauseated, and there's times where my digestive system just works, I have IBM. After half an hour, I get up normally. By around midday, I start getting the same experience. Usually it only happens 2 or 3 times a day, one a month. I went to the doctor and he is sending me for an EEG. Does anyone know what I'm experiencing?

I don't know, but have you considered a potential food allergy? Modern day wheat is especially bad for people, but even more so for a select few, causing a broad range of conditions, including IBS. I began to suffer from night sweats, insomnia, I'd wake up with my heart pounding around 150bpm, high blood pressure, acid reflux, and body aches. I happened to try going gluten free for a completely different reason, not even considering that it was inducing these symptoms, but surprisingly they all went away within a couple of months. I've now been gluten free for almost 3 years and am very happy to be over all that. Might be worth a shot for you.

That sounds very similar to what happens to me... Every around 1 or twice every month or two, I can wake up during the night with an agonizing migraine on one or both sides of my head.

I may not be awake for long, but it has been accompanied with nausea vertigo and like a mind scrambling as well, like being hung over, experiencing a random mood, a random thought, thoughts that essentially are word salad (I detailed a few, "Dublin's more uneven analogies", "too bad for them auction eyes" and "Israelis England troll setup" are some of the random thoughts) some of those thoughts can be heard as a hallucination as well as unexplainable visual and situational phenomena like having an alien encounter or seeing and feeling the presence of a shadow.

My neurologist has explained it as some kind of acute migraine attack, but I'm seeking an MRI to make sure everything's alright.

I don't think it may be allergies. Usually when I get it, I get the same dream or hallucination that just throws me off from the real world, but the problem is I can't remember. It doesn't only happen when I'm sleeping, it happens throughout the day, no matter what I'm doing.

OP, do you have temporal lobe seizures? These can be subtle - arms shake uncontrollably briefly, for example, or you might see an aura around one of your eyes.

It is possible that when you wake up disoriented, you have had a seizure in your sleep. Seizures are quite common amongst ASD people. Sometimes sleepwalking occurs when there is a temporal lobe seizure during sleep.

The seizures for ASD people occur because our brains have more electrical activity than NT brains.
