Help sms missing when notifications interupted

[incred-s]

hello all,

i have an incredible s, little bit of an issue.

sometimes when i get a message and it shows the text scrolling in the notifations bar, if i unlock my phone before its finished it doesnt always show up in messages at all.

is there a way of restarting the messaging app, just restarting the phone doesnt make them show up?

got an important message i didnt read all of that i need to get back.

thank you all very much
