A member asked:
When i sleep on my back (&only then) i awaken gasping for air for a few seconds only. doc doesn't think sleep apnea. is this consistent with nocturnal paroxysmal dyspnea despite the fact that i regain my breath so quickly & it only occurs on my back?

Apnea: Have you had a sleep study? If there is concern for sleep apnea this test should be performed.
