Sleep Apnea Treatment

Question by Hilllbilly_gal: Sleep apnea/panic attack question… PLEASE HELP ME!?
I wake up and my heart is beating soooo fast, i start sweating and i feel like i’m going to faint. I feel that if the situation got any worse i would literally die, is this sleep apnea or a panic attack? I only awake from sleep with these symptoms, i never have them when i’m awake through out the day.

low blood sugar makes you sweat and your heart beats fast. eat balanced meals with whole grain carbohydrates at regular times.

Question by StephanieE: Sleep Paralysis, Sleep Apnea, or an Asthma attack or combination?
I know first off – that I should see a doctor for this, but my insurance coverage wont kick back in until next week.

I was just wondering if anyone had ANY idea what this could be. I have had sleep paralysis since I was a child, and as terrifying as it is, I am used to it on occasion. But here lately (it seems to have coincided with me getting Mocha Frappes every day) I have been waking up GASPING for breath, or starting to fall asleep and, kind-of starting to Lucid dream then almost feeling like i was forgetting to breathe then gasping, and the other day I started to fall asleep, realized I wasnt breathing then tried to wake up only to realize I was paralyzed. It lasted only for about 30 seconds I assume. (It felt like 2 minutes but it was terrifying so I’m assuming it was only about 30 seconds because I would have passed out if it had been 2 minutes) but anyway, I tried to wake up, was paralyzed and couldnt control my muscles to breathe in and thus couldnt breathe at all. Slowly i was able to breathe again but it felt like I had tons of weight on my chest. (but my throat wasn’t tight like the asthma attacks I had as a child)

Any input is appreciated – I have already made an appointment but I;m just kind of curious right now.

You already know that you have sleep paralysis. It also seems likely that you may have the other conditions as well. I have sleep apnea and i wake up several times during the night although I don’t feel that I can’t breathe when I awaken. You should see a neurologist about you sleep problems.

Question by Todd W: Does sleep apnea make you feeel like you are having a heart attack?

Answer by Steve M
Only in the way that a heart attack may make you feel short of breath,there is usually no pain with sleep apnea.

There is a related problem called restless leg syndrome that often goes along with sleep apnea.

Question by Steve Can you die from the seizure in his sleep? Do not sleep, but only one attack? I may have them for years but never had any problems. Can you stop breathing? best answer:

response from Amanda
If you have degenerative diseases (such as Lennox-gausteau), the effects of brain physiology, then . But besides that the only reason why it will take your breath when vomited and nursing during the attack.
