sounds like sleep apnea and it can be serious. talk to youir doc about it. he may send you for tests such as an eeg or he may offer a sleep clinic or a moniter to wear while you sleep in order to diagnose it.

There is a condition known as "sleep apnea" where the person stops breathing in their sleep, waking themselves up.

It could be sleep apnea which can be very serious if left untreated. See your doctor and ask to have a sleep study done.

It might be serious. You might have to stay at the hospital for a while.
