I wonder if it just puts too much pressure on the heart and lungs when

you lay Mark flat. The fluid retention helps increase the BP, it must

also retain fluid around the heart and lungs so when laying him flat he

feels like someone is sitting on his chest.

This is just a guess coming from an asthmatic. I know the feeling of

not being able to breathe or take a deep breath at times and laying flat

always makes it worse.

Just my 2 cents worth. Hope you can enjoy the ocean. It is one of the

few places I have found that I can sit down and do nothing. I can just

sit and watch the waves and the water and listen. I'd love to be able

to do that on a daily basis. I could unwind and leave all my problems

to be carried away with the tide. What a wonderful thought !!!! =:>)
