At night i toss and turn a lot and right when im about to finally fall asleep i sort of gasp for air and my heart rate jumps up. it causes me fear every night waiting for it to happen which makes it even harder for me to go to sleep?

Stress,anxiety, and lack of sound sleep can producwe these concerns. I would consider some meditation thoughts. Discuss these feelings with your PCP for help.
