This could be several things.  You should see your doctor for an evaluation.  Asthma is one possibility.  Sleep apnea could also cause your problems breathing while asleep.  A third option is GERD.  All of these need to be evaluated by a doctor for propper diagnosis and treatment.

The eye discharge is probably allergies.  Discus that with your doctor as well.

Feel better.

Is this something that is happening all of a sudden? Or has this been an on going problem?  Some people wake up gasping for air due to sleep apnea.  Asthma patients usually have an attack between 3am-5am, this is a phenomenon that mds dont know why.  ask yourself some question, like...do you snore? Are you wheezing when this happens? The eye issue, not really sure, other than a cold in your eye.
