(((((((Snow))))))))) Hey its good to see you.

I wake up pretty often. I'd say at least 5-6 times a week gasping for air, like im choking and cant catch my breath. A friend of mine who's a nurse told me to keep a bottle of water next to my bed and when i wake up with that choking feeling to take short sips of water until i can catch my breath. It helps. It really does. I might spit a little water out at first, but that dries. She told me im hyperventilating and that is what wakes me up. Good thing it does.

I do feel panicky, so it may be a panic attack. That i'm not sure of. But try out the bottled water and see if that helps you any. I hope it does. And i really hope those dreams your having stop.

Keepign ya in my thoughts,
chalmette
