I get this whenever I sleep on my back. It even makes me stop breathing. I had surgery for sleep apnea, which corrected my snoring and removed any blockage I had in my sinuses, however, I have been observed that when I sleep on my back that my breathing gets shallower, and shallower, until I stop breathing altogether. No snoring, no blockage. My chest just stops rising.
What's worse is that the lack of oxygen wakes me up, but I'm paralyzed and can't turn over to breathe! It takes at least 10 seconds or more to be able to move and take a breath.
I don't even try to sleep on my back any more.
