? NOT SURE IF ITS SLEEP APNEA

I GO TO SLEEP ON EITHER OF MY SIDES AND JUST AS I'M BEGINNING TO FALL ASLEEP I JUMP OR SEEMS LIKE I CAN'T BREATHW VERY SCARRY FEELING ALMOST LIKE SEIZURES IS THIS SLEEP APNEA? EXPLANATION NEEDED THANKS LYNN SC.

I've had sleep apnea for five years now and I have experienced the symptoms you described before I was diagnosed and put on my cpap and later when my pressure need adjusting. Occassionally I still due. I think its because I've gained more weight. I hope when I have my WLS I'll be cured or at least helped. Loretta
