Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms. You require detailed evaluation.

The possibilities include a respiratory problem such as asthma, or a cardiac problem- poor pumping of heart.

In addition, we also need to exclude a diagnosis of sleep apnea.

Investigations such as pulmonary function tests, echocardiogram and sleep studies would help in making a correct diagnosis. After that, the correct treatment can be started and you can have normal sleep again.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
