I have the same problem too but I have never gone to a sleep specialist about it. It doesn't seem to happen to me though unless I am sleeping on my back. When I wake up and cannot breath for that split second or two, I feel like there is liquid in my throat and once I clear it, I can breathe again.
Is your throat dry when you wake up or do you feel like you are choking on spit or something?
Not to mention, I am a smoker so that could be my problem. I don't know.
I am 5"10 and weigh 230 lbs.
