My PALS has been having episodes where he feels like he can't breathe normally. When he is experiencing this he has repeated swallowing but does not seem to be gasping for air. He says that it is "in his head" and asks me to open the window (even if it is below freezing outside). This usually causes the feeling to go away. These episodes happen mostly at night and he has been sleeping poorly for the past 5 months. Strong odors such as when I was making homemade soup can also bring this on.
He told me today that he has been having these episodes for the past 2 years but did not want to tell me. Now they are happening more frequently. Is this air hunger?
