Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having orthopnea (breathing difficulty in lying down during sleep).
You are also having breathlessness on minimal exertion.
So possibility of congestive heart failure (CHF) is more in your case.
So consult cardiologist and get done blood pressure monitoring, ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
You are may need diuretics and other cardiac supportive drugs based on reports.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
