FreeThinkerNZ Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 In all seriousness, though, it sounds to me like a condition caused by nerves. Indeed. It's not uncommon that anxiety over a new situation brings strange physical symptoms and sleep problems. Nope, repeatedly waking up not breathing and gasping for air is a classic sign of the physical condition known as sleep apnea. Nope, she said it also happened when she wasn't sleeping. Doesn't mean she doesn't have sleep apnea. People can have that and awake hypoventiliation syndrome or anxiety-related breathing issues. Being jolted awake out of sleep is not caused by anxiety.

Penguin Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I told her that whatever it is, she needs to get it checked out by a doctor, because the ramifications could be lethal. She swears to God it's the Devil. Her friends responded: 1 - Melatonin supplements 1 - Punch the Devil in the ribs 1 - "Praying for you" or its equivalent 1 - Herbal tea 1 - Relax 1 - Trust God to take care of it 1 - It was a panic attack 1 - It wasn't a panic attack, it was the Devil 1 - Go see a doctor (I said that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herbal tea? Lol. Good on you for suggesting a doctor though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I have a friend with sleep apnea. There's a reason he stays away from driving at certain times. He also doesn't climb ladders or handle chainsaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody here said that there can't also be sleep apnea going on. However, sleep apnea requires that the person be asleep, and therefore it cannot account for breathing issues when one is not sleeping. She said it's not normal for her, and it is coinciding with a job change, so it definitely sounds like there's some nervousness going on. That's all I'm saying.

I love that kind of helpful advice. Don't forget to breathe! Sorry, I'm bitter right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
