Sleep paralysis....?????:/?
Hi, I had sleep paralysis twice already since 2011. Last night I was researching lucid dreaming and came to research about SP. That night, I went to bed at eleven something and I couldn't really sleep cause my head felt weird. Then it happened! I was paralyzed. It kept on doing and stopping-three times in a row!
The ones I had last year had sounds like waves colliding in my head, causing my head to feel... Like it's thumping, In a painful way. It happened for a few minutes then I became paralyzed.
But last night, it just skipped the whole sound waves process. I'm only 16. Should I be worried? I keep thinking I'm going to die or that there are ghosts or something around me! It's frightening! The weird thing was that after I researched about it, it happened to me. 
By the way, when it happened I tried to relax but then my breathing slowed down and it was very difficult to breath.

I have had sleeping paralysis for as long as i can remember, when i was younger it would only happen once maybe twice a year and it would always happen after i had this reoccurring dream.
Then as i got older it started to progress to 4-5 times a year to every month and i am now 20 and it happens 3-5 times a month.
Before i had found out what it was i used to be terrified and think i would never be able to move again and remain paralyzed forever. It got so bad i wouldn't even sleep for days.. then about 3 years ago i finally decided to go to the doctors. My doctor gave me a sleep study test and confirmed what i have is SP and then told me it is not physically harmful to you, and he prescribed me two medications Klonopin, which was for me to take every night before i go to bed and Nadolol, which was for me to take pretty much whenever i felt any kind of anxiety. They both helped so much, i never had SP any more i actually had a great nights sleep and would wake up feeling energized.. but then because of money situations i had to stop taking them and after i stopped it got worse.
For me, the only way i can get out of it is by concentrating as hard as i can on moving my hands or feet till i finally can force myself to start almost rocking back and forth and i snap out of it..
If this happens again you might want to try doing that, just remember when it happens, stay calm, it can not physically hurt you and you WILL snap out of it. It is all in your head.
If you have any more questions for me about it just ask and im glad to answer anything ( =

Sleep paralysis is harmless, other than being scary. Difficulty breathing is one of the affects of sleep paralysis. Many people imagine that someone is sitting on their chest, or pressing down on them.
You'll be fine your brain is in a transition state from conscious to unconscious I guess and it gets stuck along the way.
