when fibro fog pissed me off I passed out , is it normal?

[Tipnatee N]

It mostly happen when I experiencing frustrated anger, which not thing pissing me off more than the Fibro fog. As soon as I hit anger, I'll get very quick heavily sleepiness as if someone tranquilizing me and then I'm gone as a dead sleep mode for a few hours at best ( sometime longer). I won't remember much when I woke up. I'm not sure which causing what. Does anyone experiencing the same thing as I do? For a while I thought it might have been my ptsd , but I can usually feel and tell when it's the ptsd relating situation and mostly result to PD and I would be up and crazy awake not lights out sleeping. It's like when I want to pick a fight, it came out "blah~~~~!!" And then "zZZZzzZz"

Before I was diagnosed with fibro yes I did, but it was during my paracentesis treatment I went through Ct scan . However that was caused by my ovaries blown up to the size of a soft ball and spilled water in my organ cavities which were crushing my internal organs and my nerves ( long stories) . which pretty much how I've got my ptsd and PD out of control and my cognitive function was behaving out of wack. I couldn't tell the floor from the wall, and some time other body parts were not responsive.

Actually the sleepiness it's not that bad cause I wasn't rolling my eyes backward, no spasming or anything like that. It was rather peaceful , the only thing I remember is my last thought "damn it!!" Then I woke up refresh and forgot what was it all about.

The blackouts you describe could be from a psychological disorder. Either your PTSD or related to panic disorder. This is an extreme reactionary response to stress you wish to avoid. This of course is not a good thing, especially as it randomly surfaces. What if you were walking across a busy street? You can't just lie down anyway and sleep for hours on a road, right??? You need to follow up on this. It's dangerous, in many ways. You are placed in vicarious positions. Why your boy friend likes this is beyond me????

This is indeed a very peculiar symptom.

I have the tendency to get really angry (crazy angry) once or twice a year and last time I was so angry (long story - but it involves animals and mean humans), I was shouting/yelling, my face turned completely red and my heart was beating so fast, I was about to faint. Thankfully I was with my mom, she pulled me away, sat me down, and checked my blood pressure right away and it was off the charts. Normally I have low blood pressure so this was really not normal, thus not healthy for me.

Did you ever check your blood pressure at these moments by any chance? Or have you been to a sleep specialist? It sounds like narcolepsy that appears on certain emotional distress. There is a condition called Cataplexy, it might be that as well. But I am no expert, just an avid WebMD reader!!! (not because I am a hypochondriac, but because I find the human body fascinating!)

But I also think you need to see a doctor asap, and have things checked out.

When I said my bf like it , it was just a joke . Cause I just can't get mad since it will put me to sleep. ( lovely relationship with 0 fight) But it's not like I completely lost my consciousness suddenly . I'm suddenly have a need to go to bed . Kinda like a drunkenness feeling , brain isn't working anymore . I can still walk my self to bed or any near resting spot. You know, like you suddenly have to retire for the night kinda feeling, heavy sleepy feeling. But if I kept on straining my self and keep on fighting not to go to sleep then it will start to hurt my every bones and muscles in my body very badly.

Thank you so much for info. I will keep that in Mind. And oh yes , I stop reading webmd for a year now. Good lord it's just too much of mixed info I get dizzy and panic even more. Yes I did monitoring my blood pressure which I usually drop my blood pressure during what I call the sleep attack. But this mad that causing a sleep attack just started not so long ago . However, judging by my situation ( i lost my apartment and was moving from hotel to hotel) it feels like an over stress situation that result of stress overdrive. I'm dealing with insomnia and constant change of sleep patterns everyday so when I start having the sleep attack after I've got mad it doesn't feels like a big deal cause I guess I was happy enough just to go to sleep instead of panic attack again. I guess that's why I ended up joking a lot about it. But yes it is pretty weird now I think about it.
