What Could Cause Shortness Of Breath While Lying Down And Climbing The Stairs?

For several days I cant sleep because my breathing seem to stop when I am lying down. Its hard to breath every time I came up the stairs. When I went to see a doctor the prescription are azithromycin and sinactiv. I got better but after a few weeks the symptoms like shortness of breath is starting again. What is wrong with me? should I go back to a doctor.

Hello,

The symptoms are suggestive of cardiac causes like cardiac failure. Consult a physician and get evaluated. You have to go for an echo test for further evaluation.

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

Take care
