Problem description: Condition description (time of onset, main symptoms, symptom changes, etc.): I am a high school student. Seconds, it will take 5 minutes to wake up later. The eyes can be opened, but the hands, feet, and other parts cannot move. Knowing that the people around you are moving, your mind is clearer, but it takes a while to move your whole body. What is the reason? Do you need to take medicine or go to the hospital?
Question date: 2021-01-20
Patient information: Age: 16 years old : Male
Problem analysis: Hello, I saw your description. This is a symptom of paralysis that occurs during sleep. When a person suddenly wakes up from a dream, part of the brain’s nerve center has already woken up, but the nerve center that innervates the muscles hasn’t fully awakened yet, so even though it feels uncomfortable, it can’t move.
Guidance suggestion: This is a physiological phenomenon and has no obvious harm to human health. It is recommended to adjust the sleeping position and do not sleep on your stomach. Relax at ordinary times.
Recommendations are for reference only. If the problem is serious, please go to the hospital for detailed inspection
