What Causes Choking Sensation And Breathing Difficulty?

I woke up in the middle of the night last night choking horribly and was not able to catch my breath for quite awhile. It happened again today while taking a brief nap. I am aware I have sleep apnea and am getting a little nervous. Outside of using my c-pap machine, which is very annoying is there anything else I can do and just how dangerous is this.
