Hi all I am 46 years male obese , I do snore at present I have no health issues

However I have this condition of breathlessness which is difficult to explain so please bear with me

1) Such incidents are like once or twice a month, increases in winters may b due to nasal congestion 2) I don't sleep on my back I have habit of sleeping on my chest I never had these attacks on sleeping on back 3) these attacks are triggered mainly when my wife who is on bit heavier side puts her leg on my back in sleep. Maybe once when such is not a case. 4) as soon as I stop breathing I feel my body is paralysed unable to move. Simoultenously I am in dream like situation wherein I shout to my wife to shake me up as I cannot breathe. I vigoursly try to shake my body as a signal for her to remove her legs. 5) I try to physically lift my neck repeatedly it's like rise and fall. Mainly itstheright side of neck which I sleep on hence I can feel the muscle pain there 6) meanwhile I keep asking myself is it the end? Am I gonna die? 7) finally I manage to wake up breathing after struggle

So are these characteristics of regular sleep apnea or it is something else. In particular do all of you go through dream sequence wherein you shout for someone's help to wake you up so that you can breathe

Please advise thanks
