I have a similar problem though I am home.I am taking spirometry exercises but my main concern is that I am having difficulty sleeping due to shortness of breath. I have had fluid removed and tho there is some residual fluid, the Drs say I'm progressing. But I can't sleep. Ambiend causes depression. How can I get some sleep?2 D Echo and heart funnctions are good. Any time table on this.? I am a strong 81.
