Is sleep paralysis dangerous?

Question

Hi. If I was sleeping, and happen to be face down on the pillow at the time, could this be dangerous?

Answer 1

If your speaking about Apnea, yes, it can be dangerous and/or lead to other problems such as the heart. One significant test for heart problems is a controlled test of sleep apnea. Some people reported there heart stopping 250 times a night. Of course this can mean other problems as well. A good cardiologist can tell you. Whether on your back or face doesn't matter unless of course, the pillow is suffocating you in some way.
