Was sleeping and woke up feeling like I couldn't breathe. Maybe it was acid reflux since I was lying on my back. I wish I knew the cause to find a solution. I can never sleep well anymore. It is amost 4am here

Hey so just last week the same thing was happening to me! I would fall asleep and holy awake gasping for air! Then it would take me forever to fall asleep again for a number of fears that began creeping into my mind. It did go away though, I have it time and accepted that it was only my anxiety. The chest pains subsided and I began to sleep normally again! I also went to the doc and she gave me a rescue inhaler that I only take before bed, I have mild asthma apparently and sometimes she said at night it can get worse, we did however discuss that the pain was from anxiety and my therapist and I have been though some techniques on coping and what not! All a learning experience, a terrifying one but one that if it comes again I will be prepared! Message me if you need to talk!
