Sleep Problem

[Lister]

everytime i go to try to sleep once i get almost to the point of sleep i end up flinging up out of bed gasping for air, is this related to celiac or is it just me beeing stupid. People have told me that its because i am worrying and making my body panic. But im completly relaxed lay my head down then next thing i know i cant breath its really frightning

That sounds like sleep apnea which can cause a whole host of other health problems. You should definitely mention this to your doctor and push him to pursue sleep studies.

it COULD be anxiety/worry/panic. i have a thing sometimes, not so much gasping for air, as a quick inhalation that jerks me awake, right as i'm about to drift off. but if it's sleep apnea, that would be different i think (not sure what apnea is caused by). consciously relaxing and breathing with your abdomen (deep belly breaths) before falling asleep might help.

Sounds like sleep apnea to me. That can be deadly at worst and it can seriously compromise your health at best. See a doctor!

That does sound like sleep apnea, i would do that before i had my jaw surgery, it can be deadly, so you should go to a sleep doctor.

Does it happen when you sleep only on your back, only on your sides, or all the time? I have apnea if I sleep on my back, but not if I am on my sides. Try changing your position. However, I really recommend seeing your doctor about it.
