I have a sleep problem, can anyone help?

Question:

I sleep alright, it's getting to sleep.
I seem to have developed this "condition" where I wake up about 5-10 times right before I fall asleep, but with no air. When I wake, I have to gasp for air, but seconds later I'm almost asleep again, then It repeats.
There's no pain or anything, but I just thought maybe someone out there might be able to help.
Without me going to the dreaded doctor.

Answers:
I had the same problem about ten years ago and was diagnosied with sleep apnea a shortness of breath during sleep basically your body forgets to breath when you are asleep-go to the doctor and get tested for it, then they may prescripbe a c-pap--constant positive air pressure machine to hold your lungs fully open it made a world of diffrence for me, i also had the uvula operated on and removed along with my tonsils and things are much better i sleep like never before

Other Answers:
You NEED to go to the doctor! Sounds like you have sleep apnea which untreated can be a serious problem even leading to strokes in some cases. You can get a device called CPAP which will help you to breathe correctly while asleep and get the oxygen you need. Don't wait. This is something you need treatment for.
