A member asked:
Hi i'm experiencing moderate chest pressure and slight shortness of breath when laying down. i've recently started working out but i'm fine afterward?

See MD : Studies show shortness of breath while lying down , othopnea, is associated with COPD, CHF, tumors ,asthma or diaphragmatic weakness. Also may indicate pericardial effusion or pericarditis. I recommend immediate ER consultation for physical exam imaging x-rays, ultrasound interrogation and FAST scan diagnosis. Stay calm and see ER.
