Periodic Paralysis Syndrome is a blanket term for a couple of inherited muscular disorders. The most common types are hypokalemic periodic paralysis and hyperkalemic periodic paralysis. Both of these are inherited and generally present from childhood, tho it is possible for symptoms to start showing later in adolescence. In hyperkalemic periodic paralysis, high levels of potassium in the blood interact with genetically caused abnormalities in sodium channels (pores that allow the passage of sodium molecules) in muscle cells, resulting in temporary muscle weakness and, when severe, in temporary paralysis. This disease may be caused by genetic defects in either the calcium channel or the sodium channel. Hypokalemic disease may be caused by genetic defects in either the calcium channel or the sodium channel (Medline Plus).

When a prescription drug gives somebody a high, neurotransmitters in the brain are essentially hijacked by the opiates. This is a problem because the neurotransmitters control the flow of dopamine, or the chemical in our brains that makes us feel good. When taking the prescription pill the dopamine levels in the brain shoot up and that is how you feel the full affect. Muscle spasms occur as a long term effect due to this cycle. The brain isn’t able to process information as thoroughly as it normally would so it doesn’t control your body to its full ability. By snorting and injecting prescription pills you can cause severe heart damage. When you snort or inject a substance, it almost immediately kicks in because it goes straight to the bloodstream and this is hard on your heart because it isn’t natural for so much dopamine to be released so quickly throughout the body.

Sleep paralysis is a temporary inability to move or speak while falling asleep or upon waking up. Many different things can happen while undergoing sleep paralysis such as hallucinations and whatnot, also a wide variety of people from any age can get sleep paralysis for many different reasons, and lastly, while we know what causes sleep paralysis and what really happens during sleep paralysis, many cultures seem to view sleep paralysis in different ways.

Sleep paralysis is a temporary feeling which occurs when an individual is either falling asleep (hypnagogic form) or waking up (hypnopompic form). While having an episode of sleep paralysis, you may be unable to move your arms, legs, or head, as well as not being able to speak. This may feel as though it is happening in real life, rather than it being just a dream or nightmare. During this occurrence, you are fully aware of what is happening but you are unable to do anything about it. As an adolescent in school, I witnessed firsthand the petrifying experience of sleep paralysis. For some, sleep paralysis never occurred in their lives, while others only experience it once. I had this unpleasable sensation for about three years of my life and I would not wish that on anyone.
