Question 1

is it safe to give drunk guys meclizine to go to sleep?

Accepted Answer

No: Alcohol poisoning is a potentially lethal condition.  Adding further medication without medical supervision adds to the risk of death.

Question 2

hi i drank baron beer and was not drunk but after one can i fall asleep and woke up but as i stand up i black out .. after that i had vertigo?

Accepted Answer

Low blood pressure: After only one beer it is highly unlikely that the beer caused you to be so sleepy. You  may have been drugged. What other medication did you take with the beer?   When you stood up you got dizzy which meant your blood pressure was too low. Rest, don't drink anything other than water and see your doctor if it continues.

Question 3

whenever i'm about to fall asleep, i wake up gasping feeling as though my breathing has stopped. eliminated anxiety and sleep apnea. anything else?

Accepted Answer

Possibly asthma: Do your symptoms happen only at night?  Do you have associated runny nose or heartburn?  
Rarely, asthma, post-nasal drip and heartburn can cause you to cough or gasp for air while sleeping.

You might consider: asking for a SLEEP STUDY which your PCP (Primary Care Provider) can arrange! There is no CANCER risk! However poor sleep can result in many other issues and should NOT be ignored!

Question 7

i have sleep apnea, large tonsils, gerd. everytime i fall asleep after a few sec, i wake up with heart pounding and making me panic. is it anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Apnea causing it: It's more likely that you are waking up due apnea episodes. Obstructive sleep apnea; your upper respiratory muscles to relax when you fall asleep causing blocking of airway and you wake up gasping for breath. This happens several times in the night leaving you tired in am. Enlarged tonsils can cause this in young adults but obesity can cause it too. Get evaluated there are effective treatments.

Question 9

why is it when im about to fall asleep i wake up and start gasping for air. is this stress and anxiety?

Accepted Answer

? sleep study: Most likely, a trigger occurs causing this.  Could wonder about a panic attack, a reaction to myoclonus as you fall asleep, post-nasal drip from sinuses, GERD, RLS.  Doubtful you have sleep apnea due to age.  Need to sort out, so, get a virtual consult, and decide whether a sleep study would be next step. (overnight pulse oximeter study might suffice?).  Get basic evaluation and then proceed.

Accepted Answer

Medicine has its: place but is not enough.  Please see a clinical psychologist to learn ways to manage your anxiety.  Peace and good health.
