Dyspnea: Have your physician examine you to see if you have wheezing. Also, BNP blood test may help physician adjust your medications. If this occurs with sleep then sleep study may be helpful. Weigh yourself daily and let your doctor know if you gain 6 pounds in three days as this could be from fluid accumulation. Last, limit your sodium intake by not adding salt and looking at sodium content in foods.
