That's why you feel you can't move or something is holding you.
Unfortunately, I have this. I experience this at least 1 per week. And yes, stress is one of the causes for this.
The most important thing to remember when you're experiencing this is to NEVER STRUGGLE!!! Stay relaxed and calm. Try to breath in a relaxed manner to feed oxygen to your brain. The more you struggle the more your windpipe contracts and the more you won't be able breath.
One of the things I've noticed nga maka-help ani is regular exercise like jogging and any cardio exercises.
Yes this is SLEEP APNEA in Psychology!
