What Causes Breathing Difficulty While Sleeping?
I woke up in the middle of the night feeling like I couldn t breathe although I could. There was no obstructions in my mouth or nose but I was hyperventilating and had a very heavy chest. I felt warm and needed to feel air in my face but could not lie down because I was having difficulty catching my breath. It lasted about 10 minutes after sitting on the couch gasping.
