What is your question for us?
Is it a common for patients with sleep disorder to wake up gasping for air and to have bloodshot red eyes with swollen eyelids, but the swelling and redness go away after standing up for 20 seconds

Every person is different. If you believe you have sleep apnea it is imperative you seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Sleep apnea can be deadly if not treated. We cannot diagnose this via the internet. You will need a sleep study for a proper diagnosis.
