Message: the past six weeks have really been trying for me. the one thing that bothers me the most is the sleep one. when i go to bed each night, i have for as long as i can remember given one final total body jump,muscles jerk,then relax again and go to sleep. i still do the body jump but then when i relax again instead of going on to sleep,i forget to breathe and gasp for breathe several times before finally getting to sleep. the feeling of not being able to breathe is real scarey and one i would rather avoid. so now i avoid going to bed.what if one night i do not get to take the extra breathes i need? i have hypertension and irregular beat for which i take lopressor but besides that seem to be in good health.what is going on?nancy
