It sounds like hyponeas, in which your airway gets partly restricted. It seems like it's enough restriction to cause your blood O2 to drop and for you to wake up, probably many times in the night, ruining your sleep. You probably want to find aout how many times per hour you awaken. A CPAP should keep your airway open.
