Hi guys,
About 3 weeks ago I woke up in the middle of the night with what felt like a smothering sensation/heavy chest/lungs collapsed feeling like i couldn't breathe. It came on randomly and I had not been having a bad dream that I know of. I went to A&E where I spent 10 hours, they checked my oxygen levels and blood oxygen levels - both fine, also did an ECG, blood pressure, and general bloods for iron, full blood count - all fine. It went away completely after a few days but last night the same thing happened - again when I awoke from sleep. I'm concerned about sleep apnea but surely it wouldn't last all day if it was this. It's so horrible, it makes me dizzy, bad vision and my depersonalization worse. I'm going to see my GP tomorrow about it - i'm also worried about a petechial rash all over my arms/chest (its been there for years but it seems to be getting worse). :(
Extremely Worried :weep:
Any words of comfort appreciated.
PS - Exercise also seems to make it worse.
