go to your doctor or find a good chiropractor.

Answer 3

sometimes nerve fibers within the spine are constricted.  A "kink" or a "pinch" may produce the symptoms you're facing.  

Your symptoms also mimic that of hypoxia or lack of oxygen reaching your brain. In other words, it sounds like you're constricting an area of your neck (and that includes spine, muscles, tendons etc).  

The results results are similar to holding your breath.

And because the side effect of no oxygen is passing out, you have to find the cause of the symptoms.  It's going to be extremely helpful to your doctor to know how, when and where this happened.  

Regardless of what's said here, you have absolutely no choice but to see a professional.  Second guessing something relatively so simple in theory (falling asleep) can ultimately have complex outcomes.
