 confused about symtoms
Whenever I sleep late at night.....like around 4 am and when I'm just about to fall asleep I notice I stop breathing before I enter my dream and then I get some kinda signal from my dream telling me to wake up and then I wake up gasping for breath. This only happens tho when I'm just about to fall asleep not during sleep.

Symtoms
Hi Guest!
Read the FAQs to see if you have some of the other symtoms of sleep apnea: http://www.apneasupport.org/about47.html That sure sounds like "an" apnea. You can have up to 5 of those per hour and still be "normal". There's a couple reasons why I think you are able to notice that particular one, but without a sleep study, there's too much guessing, once you fall asleep there could be 1, 50, 100, 500, who knows. If the info in the FAQ sounds like you, see your doctor who may send you for the study. sleepydave |
