 OK-- first of all, I've had the endoscopy done... twice!!  They'll give you some med. to sedate you and it is not a big deal.  The gasping, I'm not so familiar with.  However, I know that sometimes when I can't get to sleep, I feel like I'm not getting enough air... so I have to lie there telling myself that it has happened before and that the "feeling" will leave.  I focus hard on deep breaths in and out, over and over again, and usually, I just fall asleep.  If things were only THAT simple, right?!  Hang in there.  You'll get through all this.

not sure on the ocd part or the stomach thing. but waking up @ night gasping for breath. is what I did. I went in and found out I had sleep apnea. maybe mention it to your dr. if you want any more info on it. message me and I'll explain all the symptom.

-I'm sorry your having a really hard time right now. I think it would be normal to be fearful. Don't give up, just keep talking to your doctors about your symptoms. Are you seeing a therapist at all right now? What do they say?
