Drifting off to sleep then waking up?

I always find that I try and sleep and then when I do, I'll drift off and then suddenly wake up having to take a deep breathe like I stopped breathing or something? Any one have this??

It almost sounds like obstructed sleep apnea. Does it happen frequently through the night, do you snore or gasp for air to the point of waking up, lie on you back when you sleep?I just had to write a nursing paper and these as well being obese, sleeping on your back and hereditary are high risk factors for having obstructed sleep apnea. If it seems like any of this I would get it checked out, quality of sleep helps with quality of life :)
