Wake up in the middle of the night unable to breathe. can't get air in or out. lasts a few seconds. similar experience during the day. heart or other?

Not heart: Not being able to move air is not the same as shortness of breath. It you really have a problem getting air in or out this sounds like obstruction . Are you sure this is not shortness of breath rather than not being able to move air in and out
