Hello everyone,
Right before I fall asleep, a minor nasal
passage obstruction triggers the "lack of
air" anxiety (of not surfacing in time).
Whenever it starts happening--if I were to
rise from bed and start walking (and
deliberately thinking of something
else)...the psychological pressure slowly
dissipates within a minute, two, or
three...without re-occurrence when
deliberately thinking of something else
(immediately returning to bed to fall
asleep).
I've been having this "sleep disorder" for
the past 1 1/2 years...it happens about
once or twice per month. When it happens
it's very scary! Can anyone tell me the
name of my "sleep disorder"? What can I do
to get rid of this sleep disorder?
Thank you in advance!

Hi Sean,
A sleep disorder is often just a symptom
of something emotionally disturbing. We
have all these labels for disorders these
days, particularly those dealing with our
mental health, however very little is
actually known about the basic functional
mechanisms of the brain.
My personal opinion is that we are quite
over-diagnosed with terms that are not
very well understood, in order to
prescribe us expensive meds.
Very often difficulty breathing is caused
simply by something that you may be
struggling with in your life.
Out of curiosity...
Is there something worrying you besides
the sleep?
