So for the past few days, I've been having trouble breathing. Like, it feels like I can't catch my breath, even when I try to take a deep breath. I'm like gasping for air. It's really bad when I lay down at night. I'm also having trouble swallowing. Like last night, I went to swallow my spit, and my body just refused. It was just stuck for a few seconds, and you can't breathe and swallow at the same time, so naturally it left me gasping for air (and of course, I can't catch my breath, so it was terrifying).

Has this happened to anyone else? I asked my doctor about when I was pregnant because it happens on and off for me and she said the swallowing thing was due to anxiety, but I don't think that's right?? Because I wasn't anxious at all last night, I was just trying to go to sleep.

I'm not congested or anything.
