Is there any way to alleviate sleep paralysis?
You should try getting a sleep study to determine if you have sleep apnea. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and now have to wear a mask at night that provides continous air pressure. I remember during the initial consult the doctor asked me repeatedly if I had ever experienced sleep paralysis so it seems to be something that is common in the realm of sleep disorders. The fact that your doctor had never heard of it seems alarming to say the least.
