Stop breathing when I have bad dreams
It happened 3 times tonight... and it's happened before... it was weird though... tonight I had the weirdest dream, I had a dream that someone was trying to kill me... I just... I had the dream 3 times, it was like every time I'd wake up... it would continue from where it had left off, I thought that wasn't supposed to happen? Anyway... He was choking me and I couldn't breathe. I would wake up and finally take a breath. Went back to sleep and woke up again needing air. I don't know if I should consider this sleep apnea or not? I already have trouble sleeping and so it doesn't happen to me a lot... I don't remember my dreams a lot... but when I do, I usually wake up gasping for air because I'm dying. I had a dream that someone was grabbing me from under the bed a couple of months ago, and woke up me and my fiance by screaming. The dream I had last where I stopped breathing was about 5 months ago. I dreamt I got shot and I woke up gasping and my heart was racing, I felt like I had died.
Answer:Yes it is. Sleep apnea is a sleeping disorder, where someone stops breathing while they are asleep. This also happens more when you dream, because your body relaxes and there for so do your muscles. The fact that you are dreaming that you need help is a big sign that your body is telling you need to breath. Your heart feels like it is racing because you stopped breathing, depriving your body of oxygen, and now it is working harder to get oxygen back to it. Other signs that it is sleep apnea are that you wake up tired in the morning, with headaches, dry mouth, and you feel sleepy in the day. More than likely it happens more often than you think, you just don't realize it. Ask your doctor to refer you for a sleep study.
It's sleep apnea. I've experienced the same myself!
Well it could be,but I would still consult a doctor about both the dreams and the sleeping disorder,that way it can be treated if the need is great.
I remember as a kid having a few dreams about dying and
waking up gasping for air. What I did was try to figure out
why I would dream of dying. If you are super stressed or
if someone or something is challenging you in your life that
might be why.
