Does this sound like sleep apnea?

ive always struggled with heart palpitations, but lately its gotten worse. the past two nights, i was listening to music to fall asleep and i felt myself partially wake up and realize that i was not breathing.

and my heart starts to race. i sit up, and after a few seconds, my heart is back to normal.

i am now terrified to sleep. i have never had this happen before. im trying to go back to sleep, but everytime i do my heart palpitations come back.

    I have experienced the same problem, it feels as if my heart has stopped and I,m not breathing.  I take a beta blocker since February when I had a bad attack of svt and I haven,t experienced it since.
