The day after new years is the first time this problem started. Everytime I would start to fall asleep I would notice that I stoped breathing or I was really shorty of breath. this happend all night untill one time i woke up and started freaking out. i could not take in a deep breath and my chest felt really heavy. My mom took me to the emergancy room. The dr told me that part of the problem was that i was having an anxioity attack and my blood pressure was really high. They told me my breathing problem was pobably just an allergic reaction to something and gave me some medicine and an inhaler. I got better quick and didnt have anymore problems untill 2 nights ago i noticed myself stop breathing in my sleep again. ill wake up light headed and completely out of breath. if i sit up and take slow deep breaths it goes away. I want to know why is this happeneing and why is it when i fall asleep. please help if you can!

could be a form of sleep apnea, you should have a sleep study done to see if you would benefit from current therapies for sleep apnea.

Sounds like sleep apnea to me too...check with your doctor and get treatment.
