I laid down with my 5 year old daughter so that she could fall asleep. I woke a few hours later with the feeling that I was gasping for air and struggling to breath. I was scared to death about what had happened and scared about what could have happened had I really stopped breathing.
I was diagnosed with sleep apnea approximately 8 years ago. In the past, when I have fallen asleep, I have been told that I would momentarily stop breathing. Well tonight I totally experienced it. I am still shaking thinking about it. My chest hurts and I am afraid to lay back down to try to go to sleep, I know I will wear my mask for sure.
I will make sure from now on to wear my mask, but tonight will be in the back of mind.
