So every now and then I will lay down to go to sleep and go through about an hours worth of what I described above. can go months without it happening then hit a couple weeks in a row where it happens all the time. Usually occurs when I am in a higher stress jobsight I am running.
Anyone else ever have this happen? Internet seems to think this is anxiety but I have also seen where some say Narcolepsy. I don't really stop breathing i just semi wake up and start breathing heavy and fast.
it's probably something you are dreaming. but check your pulse next time it happens to make sure it is not afib--as long as it is regular (no matter how fast) you are fine
i'm not a doctor obviously but this type of weird shit just happens as you get older. probably nothing to worry about if it goes away for extended periods.
As always, see your health professional instead of us idiots on here.
Not a fun thing. Hope you work it out.
Not. If it does, there is something wrong.
No, never had that dream
Do you have acid reflux?
Do you get sinus infections all the time?
Does your chest feel tight in the morning when you wake up?
You already have posted on here how you upset you were because you thought your reputation was being damaged by a false claim that you could prove false.
It's not normal my friend. Glad you have an appointment.
There are a lot of members on here that you can reach out to if you ever want to talk.
You know who they are.
had the same thing....sleep apena

Sounds like panic attacks. Not an age thing at all. I had them from early 20s to early 30s.
There is a reason doctors go to medical school.

Well said.
Don't lose sleep over it (pun intended) until/unless the doc actually finds something to worry about.
Good luck with your testing and hope it tells you what is going on

No, only thing you mention that is close is my sinuses have gotten worse as I've aged

Thanks CTC, yeah this recent one has been rough
Hard to explain. It wasn't that I couldn't breathe - I'd just suddenly snap out of being asleep and my heart would be racing and I'd be all disoriented and out of sorts.
It basically felt like someone put an air horn in my face while i was fast asleep and sounded it. Except there was no noise or anything.
No idea what it was. I'm assuming it was just stress or something. I never went to the doc or anything for it. It just kinda stopped happening.
Good luck.
I used to wake up at 2-3 in the morning regularly like this. I did have a cortisol issue because of irregular blood sugar. If your blood sugar gets low, your body will pump up the cortisol which obviously will wake you up. So in addition to getting other things checked out, make sure the test your blood sugar.
