Waking up and gasping for breath is a sign of sleep apnea-- you need an overnight sleep study ordered by a pulmonary specialist to determine this.
First, you need to see a neurologist who is board certified in sleep medicine to give you a neurological evaluation and order a sleep-deprived EEG to rule seizure potential out.
You most likely have narcolepsy, because it's the only disorder that features hypnagogic hallucinations. Xyrem helps people to stop having this. You should not have to deal with this.
