What happens if you stop breathing while sleeping?
I'm afraid to go to sleep. Last night while I was trying to go to sleep I found myself gasping for breath a lot. I couldn't even tell if I was breathing or not. I was freaking out thinking I would die in my sleep. I looked this up and most places said that in most cases you will wake up gasping for breath, but it also said you could die (but they said that's rare). I've never had a problem like this before, so what's causing it? I usually don't snore or anything (I only do when I have a cold). The only thing that was different about last night was that I was crying which made my nose sort of stuffed up. Could it just be that? I'm really afraid it could be sleep apnea or something. I guess another thing I'm really wondering is this: If I stop breathing in my sleep and I suffocate to death, will it hurt? That's what I'm most afraid of. I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of dying painfully. Oh and I'm 15, if that matters.
I keep thinking about breathing, which makes me really uncomfortable. How can I stop thinking about it?
Lets do an exercise..Close your eyes and do not think of an apple for next 2 min. After 2 minutes…….Do you realize that your brain was thinking about it all the time. Its the nature of human mind. If you think about something which you don't want to think about, you are actually thinking about it continuously. Its an endless loop. Now lets come to your problem.You are not thinking about breathing but rather conscious about it. What can anybody think about breathing?? And secondly its actually a good quality to observe your breath but you should be able to focus your mind at different things when needed. So to get your mind away from breath is to first stabilize the breath. If there is some disturbance in it then it needs attention or medical diagnosis. Otherwise when everything is fine you can do some other stuff such as :do some work using your hands but putting all the focus just on how you are using your hands.gentle walk and put your focus on your feet and legs.ehaust your body by doing some physical work.most importantly do not make focusing on breath a priority. Its no use doing it all the time. Expand your interest area and indulge into doing something completely.
Please help! I feel like I can't breathe?
First you will not die. Your body and brain won't let you even when you are asleep. A lot of people have experience what you are feeling right now. In most case, it's stress or something emotional, or just worrying about something - and now with you, you are stressing out more with your worrying. What you can do is first relax. Close your eyes, and feel yourself breathing normally - breathing in, and letting out. When you lay down, if you can sort of raise your bed or using pillow so that you are a bit upright position, it helps with the breathing. If you have a Lazy Arm chair recliner, sleep in it and recline it.. Here;s a picture of what I'm trying to tell you about position you want to be when you are in bed - but it doesn't have to be that high, just a bit higher than you usually sleep. http://www.electropedicbeds.com/Luxury-a... Here's a recliner chair position http://www.whitbyoliver.co.uk/images/MdP... Stop worrying so you will not stress out. You're not going to die. No need to be scared. Just keep telling yourself that. Listen to music to get your mind off it. ADD: God is not so cruel that He will let you be afraid. He's not telling you it's time. When it's time, you will not be scared, you will even find peace. Another thing you are worrying about, no bf before you die, that kind of worrying is what might be causing your panic attack. Also, maybe the Disney trip is concerning you so much, and not know it which might cause you stress because of some sort of situation with it.
Why do i feel like i'm not breathing enough?

Please help, I wake up throw up and can't breathe?
I don't know why my body has been acting up this way but for the past two years or so i'd wake up, then i'd have to rush to the bathroom to throw up. Then I would be stuck there for what seems like forever to try and kick start my breathing again. I'm not sure what it really is that is actually coming out... bile, mucus? It's probably both.. The only thing I can think is "Oh no, did I develop allergies as I grew older?" And it could be! A lot of people in my area have allergies and mucus problems because of the pollen. I never did, not until now. I guess i'm asking is this normal? Do I need to go see a doctor? Can they even help me? Most of the time I am by myself when this happens and it's really starting to scare me because I feel like the time it takes to start breathing again is starting to take longer and longer. Does anyone know any tricks to start breathing again... faster? <:s Nothing I try works and hmm if I try to explain it, it feels like slowly drowning a baby into life. =___=" .... I'm that baby and when I can breathe again that's life... Gosh I must be tired.. Moving on. This is sort of a side not and I don't know if this relates to it or helps link to anything but I THINK I recently had a seizure. o_o" I say I think because I have never had a seizure before this one. I haven't told anyone because I don't know if it was really a seizure but I fell to the ground (can't remember how) and was shaking there unable to move waiting for it to stop. It sorta felt like mini waves were blowing over me. (Lol... Sorry, I know it's not funny.) To sum it all up for those of you who do not want to read or to those of you who I didn't really make sense to,, (i'm sorry it's about four in the morning and my throat burns) : Is there a know reason for me to wake up, feel nauseous (food and water do not help), and throw up flem (that is SOUR a lot of times and changes the flavor of my food and water >:s) EVERY MORNING? Is this just heavy mucus maybe? And NO I have not been pregnant for two years thank you. - -" Any and all answers are greatly appreciated. :)
Why do I feel like I can't breathe?
Turn to Christ, pray, and read the Bible
Why can't i breathe around people?
It can happen. My uncle has the same habit of brooding over all sorts of things in life. Please consult a highly reliable, good and professionally qualified doctor. Doctor will be able to diagnose and suggest some treatment.
