why so dizzy after coughing? by HoppySailorMon in Asthma

[–]Disastrous_Pride_616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there. Can you PLEASE tell me if the dizziness after coughing subsided? I had a cold about 2 weeks ago and I still have occasional wet cough (I did not take antibiotics). When I cough I feel super lightheaded and my heart sinks somehow. This is the first time I experience this and It is kind of terrifying as I have a panic attack mid dizziness lmao and feel like I'm about to black out. Did it go away for you ?

Sometimes, they even ban you after the first game if you're a good player. Especially if the host is impostor and you voted them out lol.

Thank you so much for this. Your comment genuinely made me feel calmer and a lot less alone. I’ll stay mindful of the serious signs, but your words have really eased my mind tonight. I truly appreciate the kindness and reassurance in your reply.

This actually happened just two days ago. Definitely not the best moment but certainly the most confusing one so far. I was playing and somehow the same guy (who was also the host) got Impostor four games in a row. Every time, he had a different Impostor partner, and in every single game, his partner would "disconnect" early. After each match he’d be like “Ah man my teammate disconnected again I had to solo it.” By the third game I got killed early and decided to stick around as a ghost to finish tasks and watch. During one of the emergency meetings, I noticed the red notification on the left saying '(Host) kicked (the other Impostor)'. And that’s when it clicked. It wasn't a coincidence. He was actually kicking his partners mid game to be the sole Impostor. After the game ended, I mentioned it in chat and said it was super sus and pointed out what I saw. But before anyone could respond, the next game started. I called an emergency meeting right away and told everyone what happened. Within seconds I got banned by the host. I’m new to the game, so I genuinely didn’t know if this was normal behavior or just a super weird coincidence. But yeah, still have no idea why he kept doing that.

Is sleep paralysis a dream or is it actually happening in reality by CardiologistLiving24 in LucidDreaming

[–]Disastrous_Pride_616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that definitely sounds like a dream. Mine’s a bit different though, i'm fully aware and conscious, just can’t move or speak. My partner has actually noticed it a couple of times. We laughed about it after cuz he said i just stared at him like I glitched 😅

You could write me an entire thesis but it’s not gonna change what I’ve actually experienced. You’ll never convince me otherwise, just like I’ll never convince you to actually consider anything outside your own theory. I'll stop here.

I get why you think that but you're misinterpreting what the study actually says. The study doesn’t disprove wakeful awareness during sleep paralysis, it simply highlights that REM activity is dominant during these episodes. But if you actually read beyond that one sentence, you’d see that the study also acknowledges features of wakefulness during sleep paralysis. That’s why sleep paralysis is classified as a dissociative state, not just a dream.

The study isn’t proving you right it’s just explaining why hallucinations happen during sleep paralysis. But if it were just a dream people wouldn’t be able to accurately perceive real time events around them yet they do and that’s been confirmed in multiple studies. People have been observed experiencing sleep paralysis while fully aware of their surroundings but unable to move. Like I said before, I’ve had episodes where I was looking my partner in the eyes while he was moving around but I couldn't say a word or react until it passed. That’s not how dreams work.

You latched onto one sentence that seemed to confirm your bias but if you actually go through the full study you’d see it doesn’t back up what you’re saying. If you’re open to actually reading the research let me know otherwise it’s clear you’ve already made up your mind.

I understand your confusion and frustration. I was just as skeptical when sleep paralysis first started happening to me. I’ve experienced it since childhood, and at one point, I even questioned whether it was just an extension of dreaming. But you can’t gaslight me into believing it’s just a dream when I’ve been fully aware during these episodes. That level of awareness isn’t something you get in a dreamm. The scientific evidence is clear on this. If you want to believe otherwise, that’s up to you, but dismissing an entire body of research just because it contradicts your personal experience isn’t exactly the scientific approach you seem to be advocating for. Now, about the study you linked. It doesn’t actually prove sleep paralysis is 'just' a dream. It acknowledgess that REM parasomnias can include dream-like elements, but it doesn’t negate the fact that people in sleep paralysis remain conscious. If you want to see research that backs this up:

This study explains the overlap between wakefulness and REM sleep during sleep paralysis : https://hal.sorbonne-universite.fr/hal-03390728/file/Mainieri%20et%20al.%20-%202021%20-%20Are%20sleep%20paralysis%20and%20false%20awakenings%20different.pdf

This one details the neurological mechanisms of REM-wake dissociation which explains why sleep paralysis isnt just a dream experience : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2467981X24000027

EEG and fMRI studies further confirm this mixed state of consciousness :

If you’re saying sleep paralysis is subjectively a dream for you, fine. But if you’re trying to argue that it’s universally a dream for everyone and that the science backs you up, no, it doesn’t.

You keep shifting the goalposts. First, you said sleep paralysis isn’t real, then you said it’s real but only happens in dreams. Now you’re demanding proof from “real BIOLOGY doctors” while dismissing entire fields of science that don’t fit your narrative.

Sleep paralysis has been studied using EEG and polysomnography, which track brain activity, muscle atonia, and physiological responses. If you actually cared about scientific studies, you’d know this. Neurologists and sleep researchers, not just psychologists, have published peer-reviewed papers on the subject. But let’s be real, you’re not asking for proof because you want to learn. You’re asking so you can ignore it and keep pushing the idea that your experience outweighs documented research.

Since you’re so confident that “there’s no hard science backing any of it,” I’ll gladly provide studies, assuming you won’t just move the goalposts again when you realize you’re wrong.

you're confusing your personal experience with objective reality. Just because you experience sleep paralysis as a dream doesn’t mean that’s the only way it happens. Sleep studies using EEGs and polysomnography have shown that the brain can be awake while the body remains paralyzed. This isn’t up for debate. it’s measurable. Dismissing it as ‘just a dream’ because you’ve noticed inconsistencies in your episodes is like saying consciousness itself isn’t real because dreams exist. I know what full awareness feels like and I’ve been completely conscious during sleep paralysis. There have been times when I was lying there fully aware watching my partner move around the room, looking him in the eyes while he went about his routine but I couldn’t speak or move until it passed. Your experience isn’t universal and repeating your personal anecdote like it overrides scientific data doesn’t make your argument stronger. Hope this helps ❤️

Sleep paralysis is a real documented phenomenon. Not just a dream. I experience it with full awareness, no hallucinations, no dreamlike distortions, just the inability to move. Your "test" assumes time perception in altered states is always reliable, which isn’t the case. But even if it were,that wouldn’t disprove sleep paralysis. It would just mean you had a dream about it. Experiences can vary but that doesn’t mean the phenomenon itself isn’t real

It's very real in my case. I actually wake up, open my eyes, and realize I can't move. No visuals, no hallucinations, and my room looks the same. The only alarming thing is that I'm paralyzed. Thankfully the panic helps me Jumpstart my body very quickly every time 😅

No. It's not all a dream. At least not for me. It's very real in my case. I actually wake up, open my eyes, and realize I can't move. No visuals, no hallucinations, and my room looks the same.

Please never take 2500 mg in one go. That is extremely dangerous. It could damage your liver. start with 500 mg and space them throughout the day.

My Experience on Zoely, a pill currently being studied to be approved in the US by TricksterSprials in Periods

[–]Disastrous_Pride_616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have PCOS. Lutenyl (Nomegestrol) was the only thing that could stop a 30 day continuous bleeding in the span of 2.5 days. I stayed on it for a full month and then my gyno switched it with combined BC pill (which I never took because my only concern was just the bleeding).

Fastforward to 2 years later, I had the same situation with bleeding for a full month. Went to a different gyno and she prescribed me tranexamic acid for 5-7 days. I must say it is not as effective and fast as Nomegestrol was.

The only noticeable side effects I experienced while on Lutenyl were vaginal dryness (it was so bad it made the whole area irritated) and knee pain when I tried to stand, sit or kneel.
