Last night jolted awake to gasping for air.. I couldn't actually get air in for a good 20 seconds, and then on the 5th or 6th gasp in, I could fully breathe. It was very nerving, and a bit scary.. I think it happened about a few years ago as well. I looked up info online, but no clear answers.. some say it can be acid acting up, causing restricted airway, some say it can occasionally be sleep apnea related, or some said anxiety. I am not sure which... I do have anxiety, but can't imagine this physical feeling waking me up like that, gasping. Any ideas, or have you gone through that ?
