It sounds like you have what's called sleep paralysis. It especially happens when people sleep on their backs. Do a search online for "sleep paralysis" for more information.
It could be you are experiencing a hypnogogic hallucination, or you could be experiencing an apnea. In any case, start with your doc to help you either treat or rule out any underlying medical basis.
