A member asked:
Often wake up in night dizzy, heart pounding, &short of breath. if i sleep with my head elevated, i don't get this as bad. have connective tissue diseas?

Nocturnal dizziness: With the shortness of breath, your symptoms sound more like possible obstructive sleep apnea to me. Head of bed elevation may help in opening your airway at night.
