Im not sure where to put this because im not sure what the cause of this is :(

[Far Side Of the Moon]

Okay something strange has been happening to me. Tonight, while I was sleeping I felt I couldn't breathe, I experienced this same thing some nights ago... And when I went back to sleep today..the same thing happened where I felt I couldn't breathe. I'm not sure if I actually did stop breathing...

All I know is that its really scary...
In my dream, it just felt like I was suffocating...like Someone was sitting on my chest and holding my nose,well pinching.... And in my dream I was calling out to god and when I did I could breathe,,,

In th3 other dream I saw a white light,,, I don't know..,I'm not saying these dreams have meaning...

I'm mainly wondering if anxiety is causing this at night or if its a legitimate health probl3m..if it is, it 2would make sense why my hair is falling out and shedding so bad,

I just afraid it may be a health problem that doesn't have an easy fix.... So I'm not googling anything and I'm not t3lling my mom anything...if occurs again and again in a consistent pattern then ill say som3thing.


I'm just very on edge and afraid to sleep right now

Also when I'm awake..I feel okay. But its creating a fear of going to sleep, lik3 I want to wake up..you know? I'm a bit afraid to sl33p,now

It sounds like stress and anxiety. You should get in contact with a doctor and maybe they will prescribe a benzodiazepine for a night or two to see if this goes away. It all is fixable and will go away I experienced something similar before but it went away.

Get it checked out! Knowing - even if its real bad news - is much easier on one and much easier to plan around than the unknown.

This may not sound very cheerful, but consider it. The worst the doctor can tell you is you are going to die. You already knew that.

Could be sleep apnea. Not uncommon. See American Sleep Apnea Society Can especially happen if your too much overweight. My friends use a breathing machine for it.

I don't know I'm scared. Also, I went to the hospital in June last year for numbness I felt when ever I slept... But that eventually went away.... I still have a 600 dollar bill to pay.

I just, I don't know.

I hope its just stress.

Sounds to me like you are having panic attacks in you sleep. It is very common in someone who is dealing with anxiety problems. Your hair falling out is also a symptom of anxiety.

I haven't had that breathless sleep since I posted.

Sounds to me like a night terror. Are you able to move or speak at all when it happens?
