Hi, i experienced shortness of breadth at night since november 2012. please tell me what cause this and how to make it better at night.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nocturnal Dyspnea: Shortness of breath at night may be from a variety of causes. Things to consider can range from environmental allergies (like dust mites) with resultant post nasal drip and reactive airways or more serious things like fluid in your lungs. You should see a physician asap for a thorough evaluation and work up.
