hello again, I have a situation in my house that has really got me concerned. My boyfriend has always had issues with sleep. I called them night terrors as he would wake up disorientated and having visual hallucinations and be very frightened. I have spoken to him at length about OBE's in the course of our relationship and he thinks I'm just crazy. Recently his "hight terrors" have gotten worse. For the last month they seem to be starting about 20-30 min after he falls asleep. He wakes up panicked and disoriented and looks at his hands (always his hands) and says he doesn't know whats happening to him, just that he has tingly sensations running thru his arms and sometimes his legs. three weeks ago I had to call 911 because he was completely out of it and trembling all over. They ran blood work, EEG, EKG, MRI, CT scan and nothing. I really believe in my heart that hes having exit sensations, he describes the same feelings that I used to get when I didn't know what was happening to me (surprisingly the exit sensations lessen considerably when you know its OBE and look forward to a little trip) This poor man is so afraid and I don't know how to help him. Hes considering taking ativan or xanax. It has happened every single night for the past three weeks and I'm afraid hes going to give himself a heart attack. I feel somewhat guilty because the episodes have become more severe and frequent after I suggested to him a while back that he try to go with them and see what happens. I told him things he might expect to see or hear and I think I may have scared him to death. He's under a great deal of stress and I wonder if that too could have an effect on exit sensations. These do not appear to be anxiety attacks. His vital sighs are normal with none of the palpitations, chest pain or diaphoresis associated with anxiety. He just had another one tonight and said to me that he feels like something is haunting him. I found that really bizarre as he is not one of those ppl open to anything paranormal... He already thinks I'm nuts with my OBE's. Anyone have any suggestions on how i can help him?
