Hi there,From description of your symptoms it appears that you might be suffering from Sleep Apnea Syndrome, however this needs to be diagnosed with clinical examination, Nocturnal polysomnography (to understand your sleep pattern) only.
Common signs and symptoms you may experience like observed episodes of breathing cessation during sleep, excessive daytime sleepiness, loud snoring, abrupt awakenings, morning headache or insomnia.
If this gets confirmed as sleep apnea, Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP- It delivers air pressure through a mask placed over your nose while you sleep), supplemental oxygen or Surgery (if severe) may be advised. Hope this helps.
