Suggest Treatment For Difficulty In Breathing

Sir, I am feeling breathing problem earlier occasionally and now since last week daily basis generally after 3.00 am at night, I was a smoker from 1986 to oct. 2012 after that I quit smoking completely. My BP was 150/100 when I visited a local doctor on 9/2/17. Please advise further. Ravindra Bhatt

Hello,

breathing difficulty may be related to lungs problems or heart problems. it need detailed examination of the heart and lungs.

However difficult at night maybe because of obstructive sleep apnea that is more common in obese people. Sometimes it may be related to heart failure.

So it's important to be properly evaluated and examined to know the cause and then manage accordingly. So discuss this with your doctor.

Please don't hesitate to ask about anything else you want to know.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
