Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
We have to rule out whether it is related to asthma or sleep apnoea. Other possibility is something called orthopnoea, which is a condition characterised by breathlessness while lying down. Detailed evaluation is needed to find out what exactly causing this problem. Consult a pulmonologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
