]]> Comment on I stop breathing the moment I fall asleep, but I don't think it's apnea? by Mass http://www.faqsleepapnea.com/apnea-monitor/i-stop-breathing-the-moment-i-fall-asleep-but-i-dont-think-its-apnea/comment-page-2#comment-3896 Mass Mon, 19 Apr 2010 08:40:52 +0000 http://www.faqsleepapnea.com/apnea-monitor/i-stop-breathing-the-moment-i-fall-asleep-but-i-dont-think-its-apnea#comment-3896 OMG. It's sad to hear about eachone of you here suffering from this strange thing, but I should say that I'm a bit relieved from the fear of being alone and having this wierd "disease" should I say. Infact, it's 1:30 a.m. and reading some of the stories here made me laugh eventhough I woke up because I was experiancing the same jolting and rapid heart beating as most of you claim. I think it has to do something with panic attack. Since our bodies are in a relaxed state, the brain waves keep getting larger (alpha and beta waves) trying to shut down and put us to sleep. As we are about to fall asleep, our brains send signals that "something is wrong; wake up" (fight or flight.) Whenever I experience it, I get up and start walking around my room. The brain then gets the idea that everything is alright and we go back to normal again. That's how I see it but it could be more mysterious. I hope that everyone who is going through this would oneday be able to over come this weakness or fear (there is no medical term for this yet I guess) and lead a happy life. OMG.

Does not seem to be killing us off in big numbers though it's very scary, annoying and frustrating. I also have GERD, panic attack and migraine, all of which can cause apnea like symptoms. Seems like many of us have common chronic issues that may be the culprit. If you can, have the sleep study, have your heart checked and then, try to find what works for you to keep the episodes at a minimum. I find that exercising every day helps a lot and don't eat after abut 6pm. At the very least, see your doctor so that he/she is aware of your symptoms.

And now I hate going to bed! I had no idea what was happening until I really paid attention. Same as others,just as I drift off I bolt upright like I have been startled out of sleep, my body tingles and I gasp for air but cannot ever seem to inhale enough. Iget so tired in the early hours of the morning that my muscles ache and I actually cry out of fear and frustration. After reading all of these I am going to my Doctor...I HATE it!!
