I have been getting shortness of breath for a year or so, and it has slowly gotten worse. A few monthes ago I got gastritis meds to help with stomach pain, but that didn't help with my breathing. When I lay in my bed I feel as if I'm crushing my lungs, it's even worse when I hold a pillow or God forbid I put a pillow or blanked with a couple inches of my fase. sometimes I feel as if my saliva is drowning me(which is clear as normal), but this is not always the case. my bras crush my lungs, too.
