What could this possibly mean?

[Benjiman19]

So, I have an extremely low heart rate for someone my age. And no, I'm not a professional athlete. My bpm is 30 at resting. I've already gone to the hospital about all of that. Plus I have migraines that can make me go blind or have double vision for a few hours. On medication for these things.

My question today is about something that's been happening recently... I don't know if anything above has to do with this but why not give the reasons why I ended up in the hospital a few times?

Anyway, I don't even know if this is real, could be a hallucination (yes, I do have hallucinations sometimes) or a dream. It happens just as I'm waking up, so I'm barely awake and barely asleep. Not exactly conscious during the period of it. My head has a raging thumping to it, I can't move my body at all, and my vision seems blurred for no reason. Yet, I can go back to sleep and wake up a few hours later and nothing happens.

Does anyone know what this could be? Am I just hallucinating?
Also, I have already set up a doctor's appointment so there's no need for you to tell me to seek more professional advice.

Dude that sound freaky as hell! A few things come to mind:

- Sleep paralysis for sure. I get that sometimes waking up but can't move, feels like there's a weight on ya. Freaky as fuck.

- Could be related to your migraines n low heart rate like your body's just glitchin out sometimes when ya wake up.

- I've heard of people seein weird shit like ghosts n stuff during sleep paralysis too. Hallucinations are mad trippy.

- Def ask the doc but sounds like maybe stress or meds interaction or low blood sugar or somethin ain't right when you're tryna wake up.

- Make sure no ghosts in your room tryin to possess you or demons n shit! Fuck that noise. Burn some sage just in case, ahaha.

- Maybe try sleepin on your side or keep a light on or music if it helps calm your nervous system when you're zonkin out.

Hard to say exactly but fo sho talk to doc. Least it ain't just me buggin out thinkin it's weird! Keep me posted what they say, maybe ask about an EEG or somethin too just to be safe. Freaky shit, dude!

My resting pulse is 42, but I DO do a lot of cardio, so my O2sat stays around 98-100. If your O2 is dropping because your heart rate is so low, then that can cause the hallucinations because your brain isn't getting enough oxygen. The migraines could be comorbidity or something completely unrelated. Any history of head trauma? Getting knocked out? Pulse always been that slow?

I did have a seizure or two a few years ago. Really messed up my memory cortex. I have short term memory loss now. I had a stroke a few months ago... And I do love smacking my head against metal objects on accident. But I've never had a concussion.

[Benjiman19]

As far as I know, my pulse has always been 30-35 BPM at it's resting. Anything above 170 and I start to go blind

[BoopBoopBeep]

Ugh... If you're smacking your head against metal objects how do you know you don't have a concussion? You don't always go unconscious with one. I'd be interested what PET and MRI scans would show. What's your doc say?

[Benjiman19]

I've done a bunch of MRI scans and CT scans (with and without the "spicy juice") everything they've looked at looks normal

TIme for a cardiologist then

[Benjiman19]

Also been to a cardiologist. Had a heart monitor (IZio) on for a few weeks.

[BoopBoopBeep]

Well don't drag this out. Answer the obvious question: what did your cardiologist say about the hallucination/vision issues?

[Benjiman19]

Hasn't given me a direct answer as of yet. Going back in a few weeks

[BoopBoopBeep]

Yep... I hear ya bro. I got some weird shite going on too. Maybe they'll fix both of us one day ;)
