I get very short of breath when I lay on my left side and start coughing. Once the coughing starts I feel like I can t breath at all and then like I m going to have an anxiety attack. I m fine lying on my right side, it s just the left side that I have problems. What could be the cause of this?

You need to be evaluated in detail by a doctor. You will also require a chest x ray. It could be related to your lungs.
