Answer: Yes I have had this happen to me and I checked with my doctor and he checked me out and found nothing wrong. He said that sometimes people can do this because of dreams. I don't know how true that is. You should let your doctor know about it though. There could be something that's wrong. You never know.People can develop asthma and sleep apnea at any time, there doesn't have to be a history of it... could be a sinus infection even too! Stopping breathing isn't normal, it's dangerous... it affects your circulatory system, it can deprive your body of much needed oxygen..it can cause damage to your heart... GO TO THE DOCTOR! Find out WHY? Don't play around with stuff like this!
