Sometimes I wake up holding my breath... (hell, experience, blessing)

No of course not. I'm not trying to compete.
Sometimes my answers may come off as short, it is just that I have things going on the background, Kids etc.

My two daughters have asthma and I know how dangerous it can be.
Many times I have had to go to the hospital with my middle child, it is scary.

I had panic attacks when I was younger, so I was just exploring possibilities.
Either way, a doctors oppinion is better than advice on a forum, that's all I meant.
Peace

I don't think it's asthma. The sound isn't there when I breath naturally. When I wake up, it's air being expelled from my lungs very slowly at high preasure. If you inhale now as much as you can and tighten your neck and let a little out every few seconds, that's how I wake up occasionally. It's not very often I must point out.

If you have a bad taste in your mouth I'd suspect your farts are backing up.

Try this - next time you wake up like this, don't try to exhale, but draw in a deeper breather, then see what happens when you try to exhale again.
