I'm have been recovering from pneumonia for about a month now. When I am napping, just falling asleep or sleeping, I will wake up suddenly taking a second gasp for air. I don't know if this is part of recovering (I required seven days in the hospital, 6 ltr O2) or part of my PTSD as I was suffocated as a child.

My husband has observed me doing this during each of the situations and says that it isn't that I stop breathing, but it looks as if I'm trying to obtain more air with a second breath.

Anyone, have a clue. I see my doctor next week.
