Hmmmmm....
I'm having this weird thing happen and it's terrifying me,

When I'm falling asleep or am asleep I wake up not breathing wait about 5 seconds then take a huge gasp of air!!

It's freaking me out!! I feel like going stop breathing

I had this last night and I freaked out.

I woke up suddenly, heart hearing and forgot where I was for a moment, was scary.

Am sure it is defiantly anxiety related and is quite common.

Think it's out minds still on overdrive and we are trying to sleep.

It's sleep apnea. My mum has it. It used to scare me loads when I was little and she'd fall asleep on the sofa and do it. I've had it a couple of times when I've had either a cold or a really bad dream. It's scary but it won't harm you.

It's horrible, I'm scared to go to sleep because of it,

I've spent the rest of the day worrying that I'm going to stop breathing, it's happened a few times

Thanks for the replies
