I am a 19 year old female who is experiencing numbness in my right arm with pressure at the elbow joint. The numb sensation seems to come most often at night when I`m trying to sleep, and sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night because my arm is so numb.

77% Sleep Hallucinations (08/28/2006 02:04PM)

Hypnagogic (onset of sleep) hallucinations are sights, sounds or feelings occurring at the interface between wake and falling asleep. Although hypnagogic hallucinations in someone with excessive daytime sleepiness usually suggests a diagnosis of narcolepsy, they can occur in anyone with disturbed sleep or a disrupted sleep schedule.

77% New problems possibly from sleep apnea? (09/07/2006 10:08AM)

I was diagnosed with "mild" sleep apnea approx. 18 yrs ago (I was not overweight). It is possible that your sleep apnea has progressed in the past 18 years, and therefore specific treatment for sleep apnea may be needed, if present.

The throat spasms during periods of wakefulness likely is a separate issue because sleep apnea happens only during sleep.

77% Sleeptalking in multiple voices (05/06/2008 12:29PM)

Unlike other common forms of sleep behavior, such as sleep walking and night terrors, which are more prevalent in children and adolescents, sleep talking is common in all age groups. Sleep talking may also be a manifestation of a disturbance in your sleep pattern. While sleep disruption may give rise to sleep talking in predisposed individuals, the same disruption may worsen control of a seizure disorder.
