I have been haveing this thing where as im just falling asleep or sometimes throughout the night where i will wake up and feel like i havent been breathing, it use to jolt me out of my sleep but now im so use to it i just wake up and start breathing again and go back to sleep, i do not feel like there is any obstruction and there is no snoring, it just simply feels like my brain forgot to tell me to breathe, on nigts this happens i feel tired,fatigued and dizzy the next day.
I do suffer from anxiety issues and i have been in eposodic afib twice in my life with no heart issues whatsoever.
I do not know how to approach my doc with this because i dont want to be disregarded as it being my anxiety issues, at this point i dont know whether or not the anxiety is causing this or this is causing the anxiety, i am afraid when this happens that im not going to wake up and start breathing again.please some one give me some answers/ it is not an every night occurance (at least it dosent wake me every night) it is very eposodic.
