I had my surgery in Nov and in Dec the strangest thing yet started to happen to me. I would be sound asleep and wake up feeling like I was shot out of a canon and the ball was my head flying so fast that I fell out of bed, panting, waiting for my flight to stop. My husband would help me lie down and it would happen again and then a third time. My heart beat so fast I thought it would never stop. This happened periodically for a few months and I pursued answers from all my docs. Finally, I got an answer from my optometrist who suggested wearing a medical collar for sleep. For some reason it worked, no move night flying and back to peaceful rest. Maybe I was pressing on a nerve, maybe I was turning to the left which was always hard for me?
Whatever.It stopped.
I could breathe again.
The huge fear, the aftershocks, the depression from the frightening experience is now just a memory.
