Dammit. I thought I was done with this stupid fear. Sorry for wall of text.
For the last months, my sleep has been extremely messed up. I usually go to sleep from 2:30am to 3:30am, and am able to sleep late most of the days because of my schedule.
Thing is, I regularly wake up frequently during sleep (every 2-4 hours or so, sleeping for 5 hours or even more is extremely rare), I experience nightmares very frequently, and had at least 5 sleep paralysis episodes in 6 months, which I believe started at the peak of my heart fear, at the approximate time when my heart anxiety was at it's highest.
Anyway, I dream too much. I think I spend waaay too much time in REM sleep, I wake up tired, and sometimes with weird tension/tingling headaches that don't exactly hurt, but they're not comfortable either. But my main worry is that I'm afraid that I have experienced nocturnal seizures - today I woke up in a messed up bed, disoriented. Twice when I got sleep paralysis, I "think" I was shaking. Way back I remember waking up with blood on lips (lips didn't hurt).
I suspected everything, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and ofcourse the big BT (Brain Tumor).
I absolutely HATE asking for reassurance again, but if there is someone who has had similar experiences, I would be grateful for any input.
