Help! I wake up a few nights a week ( in the first hour of my sleep) with an involuntary scream, and a fear that I died or am dying. This has been going on for months. I can't take it anymore. Where can I go for help? I have already tried a pschologist..but it has not helped.

Night Terror

Are you on CPAP now? If you are, did the mask come off in your sleep?

I was having the same sort of problem before CPAP. I still have an event (thats what I call it) if I take the mask off while sleeping.

it is my opinion the whole horrible episode is caused by lack of oxygen (APNIA)
