Having Difficulty In Breathing And Drowsiness. What Could Be The Reason?

my mother has commented that while laying in bed she felt lack of breath and deep profound drowsiness to the point where she couldn't keep her eyes open she also commented that she felt like she was dying and she was scared . she described the feeling as "like falling into a hole or abyss) im concerned for her health but when she visits the clinic the doctors tell her she is in perfect conditions no health issues or illnesses except depression.

as your doctor as told your mother is perfectly alright. may be your mother experinced in the REM sleep during which this type of fear of death or fear of falling down and inability to call for help all of this are common. tell her not to be anxious and give her confidence and constant support that you are alays with her words.
