Why do i feel difficulty in breathing at night
I am a 63 year old male, retired. Since 1 month, I have to get up frequently at night as I feel breathless. Why do I feel a difficulty in breathing at night? Is this some major problem? There is no problem in the day. Will this problem now always stay?

There are multiple causes of this and you would require a thorough examination to find the underlying cause. I would advise you to visit a MD general medicine so that you can be examined and undergo investigations such as CBC, ECHO, ECG, X-Ray, etc to find the underlying cause and have it treated accordingly.
