Also is your breathing only affected at night? If so, it's anxiety. You think it will happen so it happens, you are getting enough oxygen.

I suspect that its waking up during the deapest part of physical sleep an our active minds kick in really quickly and immediatly think the worse. I was checked for sleep apnea (which may be worth doing) and i have a slight apnea, which does not concern my consultant much at all and says that weight loss will help and possibile mouth guard but he really did not seem worried about any that.
there is another post almost the same as yours here https://patient.info/forums/discuss/waking-up-short-of-breath--480860?page=0&order=Oldest
