I've been doing great this past 6 months, got over my major panic attacks. But there is one thing still bothering me.. just wanted to see if anyone else experiences this before, I start paying out my pocket for Sleep specialists and so on.. *Sigh*
I'm only 22 years old firstly, and my partner has said she sees no signs of Sleep Apnea of when I'm asleep, and even researching it for myself, It' doesn't seem this is what I have.. But some nights, (especially if I have taken some kind of medication; cough syrup, strong pain killers, or even alcohol) I have a very hard time falling asleep.. I will be physically exhausted and actually want to sleep, but every time I feel like I'm about to doze off.. I feel like I've stopped breathing.. a very alarming feeling, that makes me jolt up and gasp for air, and feel my pulse. Obviously, this makes me panic a bit.. and I really zone in on my breathing, and it can go on and on and on for hours, till it reaches say 6am.. Where my body is just so tired, I don't even remember falling asleep..
I wake up the next day and I feel fine ? .. and some nights I sleep like a baby. This is really puzzling and is affecting my sleep..
Anyone experience this or have any suggestions ??
