Last night I couldn't breathe at all

I went to bed at 9 and woke up at 10 not being able to take a breath. I sat up on the edge of the bed and was trying to gasp for air but it was completely blocked. I just kept trying to move some air in or out, finally after what seemed like minutes but was probably only like 45 seconds I got a little air to go out, then a little to go in, I kept doing it till the hole in the congestion got bigger and I felt like I was getting good breaths. Then I went in the bathroom and coughed out all the congestion.

I’ve got a message through to my doctor but I’m still waiting to hear from her and it’s getting close to 6 pm.

It was terrifying. I just went to the sofa and sat there all night. A couple times I dozed off but I was sitting up so I could still breathe. I’m not even going to my bed tonight.

If it happens again, id say head to the ER. I know going to the ER sucks but they could find out why this is happening to you. Wishing you all the best @Leaf
