Breathing problems
by gavinsims, Dec 06, 2007 07:41AM
Hi all,
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place. Recently I have been having some breathing problems. The strange thing is though they never happen during the day. They happen at night, and it's always around the early morning hours. I wake up around 2/3/4am finding it very hard to breathe in, almost gasping for air, and it's pretty wheezy when I do breathe in. I sit up, and when it feels a bit better I lie back down, then it's almost as if I can feel my breathing gradually getting worse until I'm almost gasping for air again. It goes on for an hour or so until I fall asleep and then I wake up feeling fine. This has been happening for a few months, it used to be about one a week, now it happens about 2-3 times a week. I'm a 27 year old male, I do smoke (with rolling tobacco) about 10 cigarettes a day. Can anyone offer any advice please.

Good luck
Thanks for the reply. Had to reschedule my doctor to tomorrow. But I don't have any other symptoms, sometimes a little cough. And I am giving up smoking in the new year :) Mean it this time as well.
