Does sleep apnea make you feel like you cant move or like something is holding you down?
Sleep apnea itself typically does not cause feelings of being unable to move or being held down; however, individuals may experience sensations of suffocation or gasping for air during episodes, which can lead to feelings of panic or paralysis upon waking. This sensation might be related to sleep paralysis, a separate condition where a person is temporarily unable to move or speak while waking up or falling asleep. If these feelings occur frequently, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
