Re: Shortness of Breath When Lying Down

[Guest guest]

I had that bad when I very first got sick, but only for the first few

months. No idea what from - went to a pulmonary doc and his workup

checked out ok.

Are you sinuses plugged up when you lay down? Try the breathe right strips to

open your nose if this is so. When I can't breathe through my nose (like when I

have a cold) my body panics and I have a hard time getting enough air until I

breathe deeply through my mouth several times; I can't take pseudephredine (sp?)

drugs as they make me fidgety but antihistamines work for me as long as there is

no decongestant. Also, I now have bronchial asthma as a result of bronchial

pneumonia several years ago; the cold night air makes it hard to breathe

sometimes, as do certain allergens (prevalent in the bedroom area). I sometimes

have to take a hit on my Albuterol inhaler when my Advair diskus does not keep

up. Have you tried using one of the pillows that helps prop your upper torso

more upright? Or even elevating the head of your bed if that is an issue (put a

couple of bricks or blocks of wood just under the head part of the bed frame to

raise it up).

Shortness of Breath When Lying Down

Does anyone else have this problem? I go to bed at night, lay down and then

feel like I can't breathe. It's like I can't catch my breath. I'm not

overweight, so that's not the reason. Does anyone know what would cause this?

Thank you!

Hi Sue,

I have had this too at times - it would be there for a few years and

then go away. It was also accompanied by chest pain and a feeling that

someone was sitting on my chest. I had all the heart checks done -

though of course not those that Cheney is now doing, and everything was

'normal'. I suspect had I been able to have the Cheney checks I would

have found some real problems. I have no idea why they went away - it

just seems that some symptoms can come and last for years and then

disappear, only to be replaced by other, weird, unexplained symptoms.

I don't know much about it, but that sounds like what Cheney says happens when

your heart gets bad.

Hi Sue,

I have wondered (meaning suspected), what said, but want to add this:

A) People with Autonomic Disorders such as NMH are advised to elevate the head

of their bed. And then seem to feel better/can get up sooner, when they wake up.

This has to do with blood flow.

Dr. Cheney asked me if I felt better or worse when horizontal. He said that

some patients feel worse. He told me this happens at certain point in Heart

Failure. When this is the case , to raise pillows...or to " semi-recline " (feet

elevated). Some patients sleep in a chair.

I have to be careful now, because I seem to get chest congestion. I notice

something I heard long ago in Cardiac condition.. Not to lie on left side. When

I do, I can feel the squeezing, affecting my breathing.

He also said if lying flat is worse, not to drink Gookinaid late in the day.

Observe what else is happening at this time. And maybe try these things.

BW,

Katrina

I also used to have that symptom for many years. All tests at that time were

negative. I was eventually told that it was probably from Mycoplasma

fermentes, although all pulmonary function tests were normal. Treatment with

antiobiotics for several years made that problem go away.

Moving your head just a few inches up reduces exposure from the

most intense neurotoxic concentrations on horizontal surfaces.

Dr Cheney really should have listened to me about this!

I have found vast numbers of people who have unnecessarily suffered

a great deal of completely avoidable pain from mycotoxin exposure.

The concept is not conjecture.

Testable!

,

What test? I recently had Marinkocich give me petri dishes and of course they

came up positive for several mold spores in my house, but then I read these

tests are crap and I really need to get a professional with a Zefon Air-O-Cell

to get a true test. Schaller's book. Do you have any thoughts? I really can't

afford to move.

Appreciate it,

Edy

A full pack of imuplus when that is going on takes care of this for

me. Works consistenly.

I had this symptom, in spades, for the past year, and all the other

symptomalogy that Dr Cheney indicates is the process of diastolylic

dysfunction and mitochondrial-associated cardiomopathy...see his

writings on the cardiac symptoms..I, also, have hypoxia, as diagnosed

by pulse ox, when lying down.

What I did, which has helped me regain some of my prior health

(although the cardiac symptoms are below the surface, I am sure, if I

try to push too much, have chest pains, etc.) is to follow all the

supplements that are recommended at this website on CHF:
