Can't Sleep, Keep Stopping Breathing

i've occasionally had a similar symptom in particularly stressful nights. my breathing is extremely shallow to begin with, so it was hard for me to notice until i ended up gasping. i can't speak for your situation, but usually this precedes an anxiety attack for me.

Very well could be anxiety but it could be something like sleep apnea so you should get that checked

I don’t know if it’s sleep apnea though because I don’t snore much
