Hi.. Do you get such symptoms frequently? Or is this the first time? Did you get a wheezing sound when you were breathless? Avoid spicy food / heavy meals before bed.. Whether related or not, I would suggest you to quit smoking for a better health.. if your symptoms persists, you need to consult a doctor for clinical examination.
