A member asked:
Why do i feel shortness of breath at night then i get really congested and my back starts to hurt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibilities: If you only notice shortness of breath at night, possible causes include allergic nasal congestion with postnasal drippings causing shortness of breath. Lying very flat would aggravate this. If there is any wheezing and/or cough, nocturnal asthma may be occurring due to allergies or changes in temperature and barometric pressure. The cause of the back pain is unclear. A pulmonologist may help.
