Hi Sir/Madam Welcome to Health Care Magic I can certainly understand your concern about your problem . The symptoms experienced by you seems to be sleep paralysis which is commonly associated with sleep apnea , Which occurs in REM ( rapid eye Movement) stage of sleep , mainly due to overlap of REM and awakening stage that prevents acting out of your dreams. So I would advise you some natural methods like try to avoid sleeping in supine position and try to maintain regular sleeping hours. You can start on drugs like SSRIs ie escitalopram or tricyclic antidepressants like Tryptomer . I would like to know how is your apneic problem on CPAP machine?...And consult your Psychiatrist for further guidance Post your further questions if any, I will available to take up your follow up questions Thank you
