What Causes Shortness Of Breath?
Last night I thought I was going to die, I woke up gasping for air. This has happened to me numerous times before, but last night I thought that was my last episode. My body felt numb, and I felt like i was going to pass out until I was able to clear my throat after about 15 seconds. Now I m scared to go to sleep. Please help
