Some experts have defined what causes sleep paralysis and how can your mind and body behave in the process. Speaking of this, having breathing problems during an episode of sleep paralysis is quite possible.
The usual breathing problems at night are a bit different from the ones that you experience when you are sleep-parallelized. Inside your brain, you know that you are drowning in the REM stage, you feel awake and want to breathe in badly, yet you cannot.
You would mostly feel that a heavy object or subject is placed on your chest. This is referred to in scientific terms as the ‘incubus’.
