Got sudden scare at night at sleep when phone rang, legs got numb for seconds(like it gets when we are in fight or flight mode). have heard scares like that can cause some kind of medical problems. is that true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No not usually: If it was a really bad scare you may have trouble sleeping for a few nights, but usually it doesnt cause long term problems, unless it is a repetitive thing thats happening and causing some kind of mental trauma.
