Choking feeling when I suddenly fall asleep
Hi,
I have sleep apnea, where a CPAP to sleep. One question, if i accidently fall asleep on the couch or in a plane or movie theater, especially when i'm on an incline or seated, I immediately wake up within a few seconds, feels like my throat is closed, it's a scary feeling and I gasp for a few seconds until my system gets back to normal. Does anyone else have this? Basically, it's impossible for me to sleep, doze off anywhere because of this. Could it be anything else? Anything I can do to minimize this from happening?
Thanks
