Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Yes, you should definitely talk about this with your parents. Your breathing difficulty in lying down position, relieved by sitting is seen mostly with heart diseases. So get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test. If all these are normal then no need to worry much. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.

Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
