A member asked:
Whenever i sleep on my back (and only then) at some pointiin the night i'll dream that i can't breathe. occasionally i'll wake up fully when this happens and have no difficulty breathing. is this suggestive of apnea at all, or just recurrent dreams?

It's possible.: You need an evaluation by your primary care physician and possibly a referral to a sleep specialist. A sleep study may be beneficial in determining if you are suffering from sleep apnea. Smoking, obesity, stress and other factors can contribute to difficulty with sleep problems during the night.
