Answer 1

maybe you are out of shape???

Answer 2

That sounds a lot like sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep.

the source link explains it in depth.

Answer 3

You may be suffering from Sleep Apnea, a disorder where you stop breathing for minimal amounts of time while sleeping.  Do you snore?  Are you overweight? Do you have restless leg syndrome where your legs are moving continuously at night?  You have the one symptom but these are others.  Do you sleep alone?  If someone sleeps with you ask them is you have the other symptoms, they usually know.  If that is what is wrong your doctor may order a sleep test for you where you would stay overnight in a sleep lab and have your sleep time monitored.  

Answer 4

It could be sleep apnea, which is when you stop breathing in your sleep (usually your body wakes you up to fix this). Ask your doctor, he will be able to answer much better than anyone on Y!A

Answer 5

you might have sleep acne, my brother has that, its easily fixed but rarely can be fatal (the not getting it fixed). Just go to a doctors, you will probably have to stay overnight 1 or 2 nights and they will diagnose you  

Answer 6

I'm not a doctor and I don't want to scare you, but if I were you I would go to the emergency room or to your doctor asap.

If you don't have asthma, it sound like your having some problems with your heart.

It could also be an anxiety attack, but either way you need to check that out asap.

The fact that you are 21 doesn't mean you cannot have heart problems... sorry! More and more we see people having health problems supposedly were too young to have...

Please, go to your doctor!

I hope everything goes well!
