Soon as i feel myself falling asleep i wake up like i stopped breathing it's scary
Sorry to hear this. Have you consuted your doctor about this? Do you snore?
typos. Consulted...
It could be sleep apnoea. It could also be anxiety. I often wake up holding my breath which scares me and I don't want to go back to sleep. Sometimes, when in a dream I wake up panting and short of breath - again over running anxious mind.
