Hi Everyone,
I'm mainly active on the TBI/Post Concussion forum, but thought I'd post here. I sustained a fairly bad concussion back in the Spring, which I'm still recovering from. Ever since July or so, I've had a weird shortness of breath during the day at times, in addition to what I can only describe as some kind of disturbed breathing during sleep at night. This is usually only a problem if I'm sleeping on my back and actually only happens in the early morning. It is like I just can't get a breath and I wake up startled. Before the concussion, I was in perfect health and a masters level athlete, with just some snoring issues that plagued me mainly during the winter. I do not have any trouble on my side or stomach and mostly sleep very soundly when I get good chunks of sleep. Is this gasping for breath/shortness of breath some kind of central sleep apnea? I am also able to exercise fairly regularly without any shortness of breath. The concussion symptoms also included a great deal of anxiety, so I wonder if this is causing the breathing difficulties. Thank you for any input! |
