Answer 1

Talk to your doctor.  

Answer 2

My grandfather had a condition where he would stop breathing in his sleep. It could be a very dangerous thing because it would stop oxygenated blood from getting to your brain and other vital organs and possibly cause brain damage or worse. You should call your doctor but as long as you don't fall asleep until then you should be fine. I hope this helps.

Answer 3

It's called Sleep Apnea and you need to see your doctor about this.

Answer 4

It sounds like you have symptoms of something called sleep apnea which is exactly what you said, to stop breathing during sleep.You can find more information on this site:
