I have a similar problem, in that I wake being unable to breathe, and terrified. I have found that sleeping sitting up on 4 pillows, and wearing a nose clip for snoring, that I get it less often. Mine is caused by heart problems.

My cousin in Canada has this, the doctors have given her a 'Darth Vader' mask to wear at night to help the oxygen flow, she is also trying to loose weight and has raised the top of her bed.
Don't know if any of this will help you but there are quite a few web sites around about it
