Exploding Head Syndrome

Just curious if anyone else has experienced this. I think the article is correct in saying fatigue is a factor and that it is a prelude to deep sleep. Now instead of wondering if something is wrong I now know I am about to fall asleep.

The first few times did make me wonder what was going on. Can't say it ever scared me. While I was working I had both very intense visual and auditory but only one such event per night that I can remember.

My best description of the visual is like a strobe light. The auditory has an electrical sound about it. Short duration and very intense.

Since retiring I rarely have a visual event but still have an auditory one.

I get something similar from time to time thanks to my Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, I'm not sure if it is exploding head syndrome or another complication, but it's more the auditory than visual side. It freaked me out the first few times but I'll say "I got used to it" very loosely, it still wakes me up, but I know what it is now. I always used to put it down to a nightmare.

This mainly happened to me when it got hot! Or when the weather season was highest in heat, couldn't do anything, or go out, then caused anxiety and lack of oxygen! I went to the doctors and prescribed pills for this dillema. Since then life has been good (y) .

It was also mainly fatigue, overworked and over thinking lol .

Peace
