What Causes Heaviness In The Chest While Lying Down?

My husband is feeling a heaviness in his chest when he lays down He hasn t been able to sleep at night. When he breaths in air, he feels like he is not getting enough air. He cannot take a deep breath. When he is standing and puts his hands on a counter and leans forward, he can breath better. We just got back from a visit to the clinic, lungs are clear, they prescribed a steroid.
