Difficulty breathing and sleep apnea

Was wondering if anyone else is having sleep apnea like symptoms. The past 2 nights I have woke myself up gasping for air several times a night. It feels like I just stop breathing in my sleep, and have had to prop myself up with 3 pillows to keep it from happening. Obviously I am tired so I just laid down on the couch and started feeling like I couldnt breathe. Is this normal or should I call the doctor?

  • Are you laying on your back or your side?


    It doesnt matter which side I lay on it still happens. The only way I can get it to not happen is sleeping on my left side with 3 pillows underneath my head.
