    I'd spotted that, too – sounds intriguing, so I've set it to record.

    Just listened. Fascinating story. Decades of being told her frequent night episodes of waking gasping for breath and feeling she couldn't breathe and like being strangled, were the result of childhood trauma.

    Finally a neurologist did sleep clinic with EEG, and MRI scan, found nothing, but didn't give up and did a PET scan with radioactive isotopes injected to see electrical activity deep in the brain. Turned out to be a rare form of epilepsy. Now treated with anti epilepsy medication and the episodes have stopped.

    A FND diagnosis after the initial nonfindings would have prevented or delayed the correct diagnosis.
