i have been having a reoccurring problem at night when i go to sleep it can happen up to 3 or 4 times a night and it is very strange and hard to explain.
My body jolts and i wake up i find it hard to swallow and feel i have to concentrate on breathing, because if i don't i might not wake up, which usually makes it worse because then i want to go to sleep but am scared to, this happens up to 3 times a night and feels like its hours at a time sometimes but its probably minutes.
This has been happening for about a year and happens most nights, i now find myself in a vicious circle as i don't want to try and sleep as i know this is going to happen.
Has anyone experienced this, i did tell my Doctor who Didn't know what to say?????
