Orthopnea: This may be an indication of a serious cardiac or pulmonary condition like congestive heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, or even liver disease/congestion. You should have this evaluated by your doctor soon.

Evaluation: Agree w Dr. Bansal. There are potential serious causes for difficulty breathing while lying flat. You may have to sleep propped up or sitting up. Medical assessment can help to determine the cause and the cure.
