ER: Get to the emergency department as soon as possible. It sounds like you had a type of seizure . You should be evaluated by a neurologist and eeg should be performed. You also could have experienced an allergic reaction . You may have has a mild aspiration while sleeping .Acid reflux can also cause wheezing and dyspnea if acidic material enters airways. If your breathing is difficult , call 911.
