Last night I went to bed dehydrated so maybe this was a factor. I woke up in the middle of my sleep gasping for air, literally launched off my bed and ran into the living room and was breathing heavily. Literally thought I was dying. Fight or flight took over. Took about a minute to return to normal. I also saw my house in just about every color imaginable like I was tripping. First time this happened was after Mardi Gras, lack of sleep, too much booze, and stress. Last night the only stress I had was maybe not enough sleep and i did legs a few hours before in the gym.

Maybe this is related to anxiety?

Drink more water.

Relax and maybe find a doobie.

ETA: sounds like a panic attack

Depends. Are you a woman just trying to get pills?

that is sleep apnea...get yourself a sleep study done and I'll bet you will be shocked at how many times you are waking up during the night trying to breathe....they will give you a portable air compressor and mask to wear and you will be like a new man...

in the meantime, try a few different positions to sleep in and take notice of which position keeps your airway open the best...also, try to lose some weight, if that is an issue...

the good news is, you are gonna feel a hell of a lot better once you get this straight...

do you smoke cigs or weed? drink a lot of coffee or alcohol?

Either way, its definitely sleep apnea.

This happens to me three or four times a year. I throw the pillow across the room and realize it in the morning. I don't think it's sleep apnea because I otherwise sleep well. I don't think it's sleep paralysis, because that is more like you feel someone is in the room. Must be panic attacks or night terrors.

Seems like getting up and running around would be the worst thing to do when you can't breathe...but I am not a dr
