Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have shortness of breath . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like acid reflux , chest infection , sleeping apnea or cardiac problem .
The symptoms can also occur due to condition like asthma , food allergy or psychological problem lie stress and anxiety .I would suggest you to consult chest specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order chest x-ray , check vitals and blood test . Doctor may also order sleep study to rule out sleep apnea .
Doctor may refer you to gastroenterologist for acid reflux problem . Doctor may also recommend CPAP machine for sleep apnea . For now eat light and non spicy specially at night , take steam , take antacid after every meal and keep your head elevated while lying down . Doctor may also refer you to allergy specialist for asthma like condition or ENT specialist .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
