Why does sleep paralysis occur?

Patient's question:

What is sleep paralysis? My wife often wakes up in the middle of the night, saying that she had just woken up and couldn't move, as if she were being pressed down.

Doctor's answer:

Sleep collapse during deep sleep is a condition experienced by normal individuals during nighttime rest or when going to bed, where the body temporarily feels uncontrollable by the brain, leading to a recurrence of collapse. Some patients may perceive it as a brain-related disorder, such as a stroke, insufficient blood supply to the brain, or cerebral hemorrhage. Generally, patients feel extremely anxious. The first step is to maintain a positive mood and seek a definitive diagnosis at a local hospital. If the condition recurs frequently, it is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine for.
