"...but as soon as I quit breathing I jerk awake, the adrenaline is flowing, the heart starts racing and I'm back in the vicious cycle again."

Sometimes I jerked awake and other times (according to others in the room with me at the time) I would convulse, trying to gasp for breath. I had the sweats a lot; oftentimes waking up in a pool of sweat.

Second opinion is very wise! What kind of doctor was your first sleep doctor?
