What Is Causing Pressure In The Chest?
I have never been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea, but recently I feel a pressure in my chest that goes away instantly with a deep breath. Can you have Apnea while awake? I should add that I just has a physical and the only thing off was Vit D and now on Vit D2 pills twice a week for 3 months until a blood re-check.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, you can not have apnea while awake.
In my opinion, you are having stress and anxiety related chest pressure.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
