You're fine now.
As long as you can email, you'll be fine.

Where you sleeping right before this happened? That sounds a lot like a night terror (sleep paralysis) to me. You can research night terrors if you'd like to see if it sounds like what happened to you. When people experience it, they wake up unable to move or make any sounds and may feel like there is an evil presence in the room. This is depicted in art throughout history as a demon or gargoyle laying on the chest of the victim. Scientifically, however, it is just a delay in you brain to turn your motor functions back on right when you wake up. The opposite can be seen in sleepwalkers... their motor functions don't turn off when fall asleep, allowing them to walk around. Your brain turns them off as a safety precaution, but sometimes there can be a glitch in the system.

Go and see a doctor. You may have had a mild stroke, or it might have been sleep paralysis. But it's ok. Don't panic, don't get up tight. We're all praying for you. Everyone's gotta go sometime.
