Possible sleep apnea: Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the airway collapses or becomes blocked during sleep resulting in shallow breathing or breathing pauses. This chronic condition disrupts your sleep cycle and can cause the exact systems you are describing. Often people with sleep apnea snore. You may need to have a sleep study to determine if you have this common but often misdiagnosed problem. Talk to your M.D.
