Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Occasionally, when I initially go to bed & lay on my left side, my heart rate & respirations increase, I feel a bit of lung congestion which makes me cough a bit & sometimes accompanied by a bit of mid sternal pressure. The heart rate & respirations, chest discomfort settle down in less than a minute, & lung congestion & cough soon after. This does not happen when laying on my right side
