Can't Sleep For Like, 2 weeks :/ Will I die if I can't Rest?

I have terrible undiagnosed health problems as a 28yo male. I have been having horrible sleep patterns this semester for school and typically get to sleep around 5am to 8am ---> noon/mid-afternoon (i have night classes). I finally went to emergency last week because I was unable to really get any sleep for literally 48+ hours and was having chest pains + shortness of breath and I just, didn't know what else to do.

To make a long story short, they took some blood, ran an EKG and sent me home with 3 ambien pills.

I was scared to take one the first night but after only a few hours more sleep, I did actually take one the following night, but it only let me get 4 hours!! I slept from 2am-6am and woke at dawn, completely exausted and unrested. I couldn't believe this powerful miracle-sleep-drug completely failed me. -_-

anyways,
I have done some research here and I believe this idea of parasites causing high levels of ammonia in the brain preventing a person from sleeping makes alot of sense. //www.curezone.org/clark/sleep.asp
"Insomnia" section.

I say this because I also have gastrointestinal problems and constant gas/indigestion/constipation. Basically I think I am plagued by parasites. The only diagnosis I've ever had is that I have extremely low vitamin D, I've done several stool samples which have been negative.

So back to sleep, last night I decided to try melatonin. I got a melatonin pill mixture from whole foods. It contains 3mg Melatonin with a bunch of other things said to increase the effectiveness/quality of sleep : GABA 250mg, Taurine 150mg, Glycine 100mg, Passionflower 60mg, Lemon Balm 50mg, Skullcap 35mg, Chamomille 30mg, Theanine 25mg, and Hops Flower Extract 25mg. (too many things?)

I was utterly exausted and I was at that point where I would almost drift off to sleep, but then my brain realizes I am almost going to sleep and kicks itself back awake. I am so f***ing tired and I can't sleep!! I took one of these pills and I still have not slept ALL night. After reading about the parasites and ammonia, I want to try to get some Ornithine. Could it be the answer ? It really feels like my brain just can't allow itself to shut off and maybe it is flooded with ammonia? My other symptoms include jaw clenching, and intestinal distress.

I did have an MRI this week, and am waiting to see my primary care doctor to find the results of that... maybe it will result in a partial diagnosis (or partial misdiagnosis? lol)

Will I die from not sleeping? I am so frustrated. I guess I am headed to a health food store when they open later to try to get some Ornithine if they even carry it :/ It seems like a better idea than going to... ER. but I don't know

any suggestions anyone has are desperately appreciated. thanks Tweet
