What Is Treatment For Paranormal Arousals?

I have a condition called paranormal arousals, or exploding head syndrome. The first time I had this condition was after I had several seizures from a drug reaction combination of wellbutrin and elavil. The first seizure started from my middle vertebrae like plugging a huge electric switch that moved up my spine like I was a massive freight train traveling up my spine and exploding at the top of my head. I seized my back up, and the explosion was like a cannon going off in my head, with a white light cutting my brain in two between my ears…this same condition happened every night at 4am. My psychiatrist told me to quit using wellbutrin, and the seizures became less powerful. However, I still have them in cycles, and now they have moved to my side of my face, in my dreams I now hit with force from these episodes . Now my speech is failing, and I am wondering if it is a result of these episodes . I also have serious balancing issues as well, caused by too many medications to help me with PTSD, fibromyalgia, depression, and bipolar disease. Have you heard of these episodes? Doctors say it doesn t cause any harm, but I do believe they do, as I am losing the ability to remember, and say complete words. Do you have any idea what this could be?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Instead of believing self, you should believe in your doctors, at least in the case of mental or physical illnesses, because they know better than you and you should accept it.

In psychology, we broadly call it obsession. You had that disturbing sensation once. You expected it to happen again and focused. Then you started experiencing it as you were expecting it. Then your body brought the familiar symptom because you are expecting it. Then you started worrying that the symptom is coming again and again and expect it. Body brings it again as you are expecting it. You become worried and so on. That is obsession in simple terms. Ignore it and the problem vanishes.

Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
