Loss of breath during sleep?!
Question:
Loss of breath during sleep?
for about a month now...not every night...but almost every other night....as i'm dosing off, i get a sudden loss of breath...one night i actually woke up choking...it almost feels like the bottom of my throat is would be collapsing...scary feeling...does anyone have ann idea of what this could be?
i am an asthma patient, also have anxiety and mild regurgitation in my heart...i know if i go to the doctor they will just say ooo its your anxiety but i've never felt this before
Answers:
sounds like sleep apnea and it can be serious. talk to youir doc about it. he may send you for tests such as an eeg or he may offer a sleep clinic or a moniter to wear while you sleep in order to diagnose it.
