Hiya,

I am currently due at the sleep clinic next week. I’ve had a couple of episodes of waking up gasping for air. I went to my GP who has referred me to the clinic. The questions are guess are symptoms are you having? The doctor asked me if I was having nightmares and things like that, of which I’ve no recollection off. Acid reflux can also cause you to wake up needing air, apparently, but I won’t know more until I’ve been and been seen. I know that on my appointment the first one is to pick the equipment up to monitor me over night in my home, the day after is to hand the equipment in then see the specialist. My advice is if you think it’s that then you need to get it looked in to. Even if it is just for peace of mind 😊
