mult possibilities: It could be multiple things, from sleep apnea which is s problem with the airway that can partially collapse on itself when you sleep at night making people feel like they wake up gasping for air, or alternatively it could be some infectious remnants or many other conditions including respiratory or cardiac. The best method to find an answer is to f/u with your physician.
