I don't get that when I'm sleeping. I feel like that when I'm up. Shortness of breath tight chest at times. I have to keep yawning to make sure I can still catch my breath.

Hi,  I have been getting that and realize that I must be mouth breathing when

that happens.  My throat, tongue and roof of my mouth are so dry that it

feels as if I might choke or can't swallow.  That usually produces a cough.

Yes, I have the same thing. I've been experiencing it for 6 months now, off and on. I've had every possible cardiology test done, and all tests came up negative. The next step is to see a pulmonologist and do a lung study and possibly sleep study. I know exactly what you're talking about, right when I drift off to sleep it feels like something closed and I feel like I'm suffocating. I know you posted this a year ago, but if you found the reason this is happening, please let me know. Thanks
