Hard breathing after drinking

I started drinking a bunch of whiskey and ended up doing an all nighter watching some shows. Around 6 in the morning I was trying to go to sleep when i realized i was barely breathing. Every time i tried to sleep I would have to force myself to breathe again. I looked into it and people say that they have had this before but I don’t know how to get rid of it now that i’m exhausted and want to sleep. Do I just have to suck it up and wait it out?
