I'm really not an asshole, I just play one on GFY. 
I do lay in bed at times and as my eyes are closing for the night I catch myself gasping for breath and reawakening. It scares the fuck out of me.
No, I have not seen a doctor. |
Yes it could possibly be sleep apnea - but I get the exact same feeling when I lay down and my Mitral Valve starts acting out and pumping blood back into my lungs - and that can put you in a state of feeling like you can't breath quite fast as well - do you cough a lot or anything when you try and lay down? If you do, don't lay flat, keep your head elevated and it'll keep you from being so flat and having it pour backwards SO fast!
It could of course be apnea - my husband has that - don't look over anything at this point though - not as it pertains to your heart!
