Ever since my youth this happens to me about twice a year. It’s difficult to describe and the 3 psychiatrists that I’ve asked couldn’t really help me. When I’m asleep, usually in summer, I get a very horrible sensation, the only way I can describe it is extreme despair, similar to suffocation.In the few minutes that it happens, I feel like even death can’t solve my problems and I feel intensely that life is all suffering. It’s similar to falling from a building. Once when I was vacationing and had to go through a narrow tunnel, I had a similar feeling.I don’t know if it’s that my brain gets low on oxygen. It happens in summer or when I’m dehydrated.
I wake up feeling very helpless and talking to someone helps me just a tiny bit. The sensation passes in about 15 minutes.
I also feel horrible while drinking water, like being strangulated.
The problem passes in some time and it’s not very frequent but it’s such a horrible feeling, does anyone know anything about it? Thanks a lot.
I really need help with this problem, does anyone else ever have this problem?

You have anxiety, plus some type of breathing problem. If you have anxiety, breathing problems will trigger your anxiety. Try another doctor, because it's important to get a good diagnosis (I don't really know anything).
I'll take a guess at your breathing problems. Waking up like that is probably sleep apnea. The doctor can order a sleep study to confirm. The other breathing problems are probably allergies. You can get medication to help with that.
Go to youtube and search for "anxiety breathing exercises". Most people are breathing too shallow. Also search for "mindfulness".
If talking to someone helps, that's great. Do that. Another thing that can help is to listen to music. Or watching a comedy.

I have a suggestion, and it sounds ridiculously simple but it might work. Anyway, it couldn't hurt. Video One below is a talk by Dr. Emma Seppala of Stanford University. She talks about an experiment she did with vets suffering from PTSD. I have read her journal article and I can tell you as someone with a master's degree who knows how to evaluate research that her study was well-designed, with a carefully-selected control group and biometric data along with participants' reports to assess the success of the treatment. In one week of slow breathing treatment, the vets experienced anxiety brought down to normal. Soldiers say that they can calm down immediately in dangerous situations by slowing their breathing. Good results were seen a year later. Video Two has a variety of useful information including a book for PTSD patients and what mental health professionals recommend for controlled breathing -

Not exactly but close. I suffered from extreme anxiety/panic attacks for a long time. Mine always feel like I'm being yanked out of my body. One of the things I do know is that you have to concentrate on your breathing. The doctor told me people having attacks stop breathing and that leads to light headedness and it gets even worse, I have woken up like that which I've always considered to be waking up to an anxiety attack. I don't know what causes it. Mine have erased up but not disappeared. Believe it or not a low dose of melatonin had helped me. You should find out if you have any problems that disrupt your breathing such as allergies or sleep.

That's nothing. It's a somatic hallucination which commonly occurs prior to falling asleep. Everybody occasionally gets that, but you're blowing out of all proportion.
