Suggest Treatment For Wheezing While Sleeping

I have gurgling, wheezing noises when I lie down to sleep, cannot clear it with coughing. Do have pnemonia, was given antibiotics, albuterol inhaler and told other meds to take. Have been sleeping last 2 nights sitting up due to the noise. Any suggestions to get rid of the noise?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Breathing difficulty, wheezing during lying down (sleeping) are seen with bronchitis and heart failure.
So better to consult doctor and get done blood pressure monitoring, ecg, 2d echo, chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
Ecg and 2d echo are needed for heart failure. Chest x ray and PFT are must for the diagnosis of bronchitis.
Treatment is based on diagnosis.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
