I've been doing okish last few days, mainly cause I had a bad cold and that took the forefront of being obviously ill.
But for the past few months, and it has happened before previously, I've been waking up gasping for breath in my sleep. My boyfriend said this has happened even when I cant remember it which freaked me out. I also almost always always wake up with sore throats, but don't feel ridiculously tired the next day, just a bit sleepy often but it fades like normal.
I've spoken to a doctor about feeling breathless during the day and she said she didn't know as they ruled out asthma so she's talking to the other gps at the practice in their meeting.
I'm a bit scared I have sleep apnoea and how long it can go untreated without serious consequences.
I'm 19 and slim, but I heard only 50% of cases are due to being overweight.
