Q: Sleep Disorder
asked by: seanthomas on August 10th, 2007

Hello everyone,
Right before I fall asleep, a minor nasal passage obstruction triggers the "lack of air" anxiety (of not surfacing in time). Whenever it starts happening--if I were to rise from bed and start walking (and deliberately thinking of something else)...the psychological pressure slowly dissipates within a minute, two, or three...without re-occurrence when deliberately thinking of something else (immediately returning to bed to fall asleep).
I've been having this "sleep disorder" for the past 1 1/2 years...it happens about once or twice per month. When it happens it's very scary! Can anyone tell me the name of my "sleep disorder"? What can I do to get rid of this sleep disorder?
Thank you in advance!

Hi Sean,

A sleep disorder is often just a symptom of something emotionally disturbing. We have all these labels for disorders these days, particularly those dealing with our mental health, however very little is actually known about the basic functional mechanisms of the brain.

My personal opinion is that we are quite over-diagnosed with terms that are not very well understood, in order to prescribe us expensive meds.

Very often difficulty breathing is caused simply by something that you may be struggling with in your life.

Out of curiosity...
Is there something worrying you besides the sleep?
