hello, i have suffered from sleep paralysis for 20 years, usually occuring 2 to 3 times a year. It has increased signifinetly over the past 6 months to a couple times a week. My question is should i go to a sleep clinic and try and figure out how to stop this? Everything I have read says it is not dangerous,but is the most frightening thing to experience. It feels as if I have woken up from a nap,hearing and knowing where i am, but being unable to move or speak. Or so I thought, My daughter heard me moaning and came into my room and said I was moving slightly and whispering help me which in my head, I was screaming and trying everything to get my body to move. When I do come out of it, I am dissorriented and scared, with a pounding headache.
