Heart Disease and Heart Attack Forum - I Don't Know What's Wrong...

For about a year, everytime I go to sleep, all of a sudden I will wake up, like I forgot to breathe or my heart forgot to beat. Now I started excersising and moving, and it has done it 3 times just today. It feels like it is in my heart, not my lungs, and I am on zoloft for mild depression so I don't think it is anxiety. Should I go get this checked out?

Sleep Disorder

What you might have is a sleep disorder that alot of people get. Have your doctor set you up with one of those monitors or sleep sessions and it will find out that you forget to breath and it causes you to wake up in the middle of the night.
