In the lr, falling asleep, i woke up disoriented, since then i'm watching tv and hallucinations begin, i keep thinking my family is talking to me?

Sleep and hallunatio: This needs er evaluation to rule out stroke given your history. I would also have your doctor look for metabolic causes. Coagulopathy test formthfr gene should be checked. Sleep apnea should be ruled out along with significant oxygen desaturation as a cause. Good luck. Do not drive yourself to the er and do not wait to go.

While falling asleep, started getting hallucinations of someone in the room. This led to panic that felt like the kind I get during hypnic jerks (which I get often). Couldn't fall asleep for half hour due to these panic episodes. Should I see Dr?
