Brief Answer:
Catathrenia or OSA

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.

I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.

The description that you have given meets two diagnoses
1. Catathrenia
2. Obstructive sleep apnoea

Both if them are quite similar in presentation and the differentiation can be done by polysomnography as the catathrenia pauses occur only during the REM sleep and the end of inspiration where as OSA occurs both during REM as well as NREM.
However to treat them firstly you need to reduce your weight if you are obese.
Secondly there is an equipmet inmmarket called CPAP which gives positive airway pressure and this will help in both the illnesses.
Both the conditions gets exacerbated when you have a upperresitatory tract inefcion or during stress. Make sure there is XXXXXXX infection and if there is any get it treated first.
Regarding stress management, do regular aerobic exercises or walking and do some relaxation exercises like yoga or meditation.
