Suggest Treatment For Difficulty Breathing And Difficulty In Laying Straight Down
My husband has not been able to breathe right for almost two months now. They say the lungs have shrunk and they are not working. What is breathing for him is his stomach muscles not the lungs. He can not lay straight down, on his belly, or even can t sleep on either side. He has to lay almost completely sitting position and on a bipap to push air in his lungs to breathe. None of the doctors around here seem to know why. Do you have any idea why he can t breathe and anything he does he is out of breathe.

Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, breathing difficulty may have many reasons, like infection, allergic condition, cardiovascular disease, functional disorders, and these all need to be differentiated and for that right from the clinical examination to investigation needed, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
