I think I may have sleep apnea, sometimes I wake up gasping for air, not a lot though. Could it be that?

Last night, I woke up with pains in my chest(what felt like heart area) and when I took a few deep breaths, the pain began to go away and I fell back to sleep. Could this be sleep apnea and because I wasnt breathing, my heart was not functioning properly, and therefore causing the pain?? I’m scared about this.

Most people who have it, don’t know they do. I wouldn’t say it was that. If it persists I would go to the doctor. Don’t think about it to much or you will cause yourself to have some mental health issues as well. Best wishes!

Have your doctor set you up for a “sleep study.”
They send you to a clinic, where you will spend the night.
They will monitor you with wires, to check heart rate, sleep
pattern, check to see if you stop breathing, and how often.
The specialists will then, send the results back to your doctor,
after their doctor, lets you know the results of your test.It just may prevent you from “dying” in your sleep. Seriously. <}:-})

only a doc could tell you you have to get a sleep study done so they can tell if you do or do not
