Ugh - I've stopped breathing in my sleep for the last few nights

[Queasy]

So, I woke up gasping for air and coughing my lungs out last night. I had stopped breathing. Apparently, this has happened for the last few nights according to my wife. I sleep like a log so I rarely know what has occured during sleep (literally, I slept through a car wreck as a kid) so I don't really know how often I've been doing this lately.

The same thing happened to me during college but only when my project loads were so high that I was stressed out. I'm not particularly stressed out right now so I don't know why I would stop breathing in my sleep. But, maybe that's why I've been feeling so tired and generally sh!tty the last couple of weeks.

You might want to at least consult a physician to see what could be causing it. Breathing is probably important😛

I had sleep paralysis a few nights ago, where your brain wakes up but you can't move. I think it took about 30 seconds for my body to catch up.

Sucks. Go see a doctor, she's right.

Yeppers, that sounds about right. Definitely go see a doc. Apnea does bad things to you over the long haul.

Breathing is overrated anyway, I personally wouldn't worry about it.

Not anymore than 10lbs. I was probably about 10lbs UNDER-weight when it was happening to me in college. 🙂

Sleep Apnea. Fausto does the same thing some times and night and I have to get him to roll over.

I agree. You'll probably have to get a sleep study to diagnose it (get wires hooked up to you while you sleep). Go see a doctor.

I suffer from sleep apnea but have been able to control my symptoms by doing the following:

Using the breathright strips, sleeping on my side and stomach, and ridding my bedroom of any allergians (such as the cat in my case).


Since I started doing the above, my wife has said I've completely stopped snoring and I wake up feeling like I've actually slept.

It's happened to me before too.
Confused the hell out of me the first couple times.

I remember seeing a show on tv where people who got sleep paralysis thought they were abducted by aliens, hehe.

That must be it....I have two cats and they like to jump up on my chest while I'm laying down sleeping. They must be stealing my breath!!!
