Help! Had a weird thing happen

Posted by Gadgirl on September 24, 2004 at 08:35:28:

Hi all - Last night just as I was falling asleep,I suddenly felt as though I took my last breath! It was real scary. It even woke me up! Once awake, I was okay except now I was afraid to go back to sleep. Anyway, long story short, after 2-3 hrs of lying there, I took 1/2 AMbien, which to my disappointment didn't kick in right away. I think my mind was too wound up. Finally a couple of hours later, I fell asleep. So, today I'm running on empty. Just when I think things can't get worse, they do. Has anyone experienced this breathing thing? Wonder if I was partially dreaming and just startled myself into waking. I know the body slows down when sleeping, but this was rather strange. Any input is comforting.
