It happened even if im sleeping or even just sitting down or sometimes when im eating. I had the same problem with you too and it just happened yesterday and after my birthday last december, it scared me a lot,it seems it is the end of my life every time it will attack me. I am a 48 year old woman, dont smoke, dont drink.īye for now, hope someone will chat and reply and can share our experiences What is happening? i might go to the doctors again, have been a few times of the years and they have listened but never done anything, no tests nothing.Ĭan anyone advise, or have a similar problem. i could not ring anyone i cant get my breath, i just gasp for breath trying to get some in and cough, cough, with all this stuff going down the back of my throat. This is so frightening when it happens i cant breath and think what if i dont start breathing i will die. I am on thyroxine for 9 years, under active thryoid, and telfast 180mg allergy tablet for hives, and also nasal spray for rhinitus.

I am only guessing though as have no answers, but this has happened quite a few times now. so i suddenly awake, and then panic, i cant breath at all, it all feels blocked in my chest, no air at all, i am gasping for breath trying to get a little bit in, i start coughing, some air goes in, i cough and cough for ages, like everything is irriitated and i have to cough, there is this stuff going down the back of my throat too, cant taste it, but think stuck like its a reaction to the coughing. I go to sleep as normal and then i start to dream about not breathing, dont know if that stops me breathing or my body/mind is trying to wake me up as i cant breath. Have had them for about 2 years, they dont happen that often. Hello dont know if anyone can help but had one of these episodes two night ago.

Waking up suddenly from a deep sleep
