what happened to me?


Question:
last night, i was lying in bed relaxing and all of the sudden my arms started to go numb, followed by my legs and then the rest of my body. While i was lying there it felt like my brain was there but my body wasn't, it was a scary feeling. I then stood up and noticed i had bad trouble breathing and my chest started to hurt. I almost called 911, i have never in my life felt this way before and i am only 21 years old, anyone have any idea what might of happened to me or what could of caused it?

Answers:
Get yourself checked out and get a full physical-- You re too young to be getting those type of symptoms... regardless of what type of answers u get here, regardless of the stress or any drugs u may be taking u should still go to your doctor and advise him of what happened! Last thing u want is find out too late that u had a serious condition that became aggravated for not getting proper treatment.

Other Answers:
Do you drink, smoke, take drugs?

That may help narrow down some things.
you probably should go see a doctor.
You had a panic attack. Make an appointment with your doctor, or go get counseling.
That was a full-blown panic attack! Seek councelling dude.
You were just raped by a ghost! Call ghostbusters!
It sounds like an anxiety attack. My wife has them. Have you been stressed lately?

The best solution (if that is the problem) is Therapy.
If you weren't tripping on acid, you probably had a mild heart attack!
Heart attack
hey ur the guy that smokes pot!
srry idk. hope u get better.
it could be a panic/anxiety attack. if you've a lot of stress in your life then this could occur due to that. however, having said that, it's always best to get checked out. go to your doctor just to put your mind at rest. good luck
it sounds like sleep paralysis. This can happen just before falling asleep or just before waking up. It is very scary but harmless. The trouble breathing may have been panic from not being able to move. If this keeps happening I would see a doctor just to be sure nothing is wrong.
Oh, yeah, this happens to me all of the time. I love when I go numb. Next time you go numb like this, do what I do and hurry over to 7-11 for a slurpee and drink it as fast as you can. The brain freeze along with being numb is out of this world awesome.
Sounds like an axiety attack, but only a medical professional would be able to properly diagnose your issues.
sounds like a heart attack get yourself checked immediately.
Dude, go see your doctor. Have them perform an EKG and a stress test. If you're taking any medicines (prescribed or not) tell your doctor.
I think you dreamt. seriously.
Sounds like an anxiety attack or could have been a mini-heart attack/stroke...go see your doctor. good luck!
You just got married didn`t you?:)) Now seriously you should go see a doctor.
It could be low blood pressure, which could be caused by a lack of iron in your diet. It also could be caused by fatigue, or you could be coming down with a virus of some kind. Sharp chest pains and pain when you inhale might be pleurisy.
Yep....lay off the drugs and alcohol for a bit! :) No seriously though, it sounds you could have had a slight anxiety attack. Are you stressed out or been under a pressure lately. You may want to consult your physician if it happens again...or hell just give them a call today so they can at least monitor your symptoms for a bit.
that could have been a few things but i d say one of two, you had a panic attack, or second you were laying in a manner which disrupted blood flow to your brain making you feel numb and hard to breath onece you sat up. but sounds more like a panic attack
This could be nothing. On the other hand, you could have had a cardiac incident. Heart attacks are not just for the old. It would probably be wise to see a doctor and get yourself checked out.

It might be slightly embarrassing if it turns out to be nothing. But, nobody ever died of embarrassment.
It sound slike you might have had a panic attack. Has anything stressful happened in your life recently (remember that good events can cause stress too)? Has this happened before? If so, this might be something you want to discuss with your doctor, as you might have an anxiety disorder. If this is a first time shot, it might have just been a one time deal ... most people have a panic attack at least once in their life and never have those symptoms again.
That happened to my dad once they said it was a seizure. You should go to the doctor and ask for a check up.
you just smoked some good dro or chronic. next time turn on some music and just take it all in, or go eat some ice cream.
Don't know, but I would suggest saying a prayer or two everyday for angels to watch over you and keep you in good health and company for as long as you are here.

Not sure what you believe in, but just think of it this way... it could only help...

Much luck and light in your situation! Be well...
Oh my gosh. that is sooo weird you said that because sometimes when I go to bed, like i get really weird numbness in my arms (theyre not asleep) and like i will have shooting pains in my sides. I would stand up and felt like i was hyper-venalating or something. I went and told my mom and she said that it was all in my mind (she is a nurse) and I was like ... umm i dont think so... I felt like I was dying. She said it was all physco-sematic. I still dont believe her, but sometimes when I am falling asleep that happens to me, and I really dont know what it is either. I am healthy so I know it wasnt anything health related. Anyways, Sorry I couldnt help ALL that much. I was just relieved to know that I am not the only one who has these weird - i dont even know what to call them! lol.
Dont worry I had that happen to me when I was 15. I was just lying there and my whole body started going numb cilimbing up on one side then working its way to the other. You got your self even more scard by getting your self worked up. You simply had a pinched nerve. Think where it started in your body if it happens again keep yourself calm. And you move your body around to get the pinched nerve out. I lost my speech, my way to walk cause I scared my self. Its your nervous system working with the nerves. Keep yourself calm and agian just work out the kink of the nerve if it happens again. By the way it happend to me about 4 more times. Doc said it herself it was a pinched nerve.
You may have lack of calcium. The best thing you could do is to go to a doctor.
you were just really stoned and thinking too much...... lay of the pot for a while...
