Follow-Up:
I am so happy that I have found someone with the same problem! Here is what has been happening to me: For the past year, about once a month, I wake up in the middle of the night gasping for air. This scares my husband and I dramatically and we have no idea what to do. I am currently 8 months pregnant and it is getting much worse. I have done quite a bit of research on sleep apnea (since this is the conclusion everyone seems to jump too) and I do not have any of the same symptoms except the part where I stop breathing. I do not snore, it does not happen every night or multiple times a night, and I do not think going to a sleep clinic would help given the irregularity of it happening. I am not sure how to proceed but I have read all of the other responses and I am going to try the antacid next. The problem is, I do not want to be on a daily medication for something that happens occasionally. Please let me know if you find out anything!!! I am glad to know that I am not the only one having this problem but I am at the say time, sad that someone else is suffering from this!
