Thank you John for posting that link that’s a lot of great information dealing with Cataplaxy that gives me more tips to look for. First time it happened I was by myself with an electric blanket on only thing I could think of was that there was a short in the blanket . Then I’ve had episodes of being paralyzed if i lay my hands on my chest and cross my fingers I can’t move or speak( just need someone to touch me ) but I can’t get their attention

Did you happen to see this Cataplaxy article on the Sleep Foundation website? Thought I would share it just in case - https://www.sleepfoundation.org/physical-health/cataplexy

I’ve had those being paralyzed nightmares for most of my life on and off . You just need someone to yank you or pull you . Sometimes I’m yelling for someone but nothing comes out . I feel like I’m screaming but I’m really not . Then I somehow jerk myself out of the nightmare.
I also get the 2 gasps lately when I’m sort of in relight sleep 💤.
This is recent as well as the sensation my heart ❤️ stops a few seconds when I’m doozing off and then a big jolt back to normal rhythm . I have a history of pvcs but this feels different. I also have 7 gastrointestinal disorders last 10 years daily & nightly .
The whole thing is difficult 😥.
