I don’t think this sounds like sleep apnea as you are up and pacing around rather than just waking up gasping for air.. It sounds anxiety related. What you describe in the last bit of your question is sleep paralysis which is anxiety related, also. I’d try and see your doctor about this just to check there’s nothing wrong physically and then look into treating your anxiety. Either with medication or therapy or lifestyle changes.
