I Am A 17 Year Old Female. And Im Very Concerned With What Could Be Going On With Me. Im Horrible With Exsplaning Things So Bare With Me On This. I Was Asleep For A Couple Of Hours But Was Woken Up With The Most Awful Feeling In The World. It Almost Felt As If I Was Dying. It Felt As If I Was Beginning To Not Breath And My Body Was Just Starting To Shut Down Slowly. (Very Scary Feeling) I Have Never Experienced These Feelings Before. Anyways, As Im Waking Up I Begin To Feel Very Dizzy To The Point Were It Took Me A Minute To Catch Focus On Everything. At That Point My Heart Was Racing Very Fast But Slowed Down Within A Matter Of Seconds. And Eventually Everything Went Back To Normal And I Fail Asleep Again But I Kept Getting Woke Up With A Similar Feeling But Not As Bad As The First Time. Im Very Confused And Scared /: Can Anyone Tell Me What Could Be Going On With Me Or Relate. ?
I think you may be experiencing some sleep apnea. why don't you talk it over with your mom if you're still at home. I have had sleep apnea tests that came back inconclusive as it only happens when I sleep on my back and not all the time. I've experienced those same sensations you described. What I finally did was have a dental sleep apnea device made and I haven't experienced that sensation since I started wearing it. Talk to someone and don't keep it to yourself, it ll just drive you nuts worrying about it.
