Shortness of breath when laying down
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am suffering from T2DM and HTN for the last 2 years.
Taking metformin 1000, sitagliptin 100 and dapagliflozin 10 for diabetes and tazloc beta 50 for hypertension.
Due to chest pain I undergo evaluation about 1 year ago where my ECG, TMT,2dECHO are found normal only grade 1 diastolic dysfunction.
But last few days around 15 days or more when I am laying down left side or right side after a few minutes I am suffering shortness of breath for some minutes.
At night when I want to try to sleep, the time when I am in next to sleeping stage suddenly shortness of breath for a second and I woke up.
That's why I can't sleep all the day and night.
Please tell me what should I do sir...
Right now No pain in chest, no swelling in arm or feet, nothing.
But when I am laying down sometimes I am suffocating and shortness of breath.
