A member asked:
I all of a sudden jump and feel like i cant breathe for about 2 seconds. typically while laying down usually in the evening before bed?

2 seconds?: If your spell is really only a few seconds , it is more likely to be related to stress. Longer episodes (15 minutes) raise the question of heart or lung disease, especially congestive heart failure. A chest x-ray would provide invaluable information. A blood sample for B type natiuretic peptide would also help.
