Waking in a panic

Katcasarez

towards the night I get like heartburn or acid reflux and when I fall asleep a few minutes into a deep sleep I wake up gasping for air and dizzy and panicky it only last a few sec and then I fall asleep again it takes a couple tries till I finally fall asleep and it's scary and exhausting is anyone else going threw this?

I suggest speaking to your physician. I have sleep apnea, so sometimes this may happen to me. So I've been going through testing for it. I think telling your physician about this and asking for a referral to a sleep specialist would be beneficial. All of those symptoms tend to be connected/come together. I have them...so that is why I'm suggesting this to you. I'm sorry if it seems scary or something.

Don't sleep lying down flat if it's so bad it's waking you up. Put an extra pillow or two to elevate your head and it should help immensely.

Well I lay flat but on my side
