[|Human|] Last night when i was in bed, i sat up to grab another pillow at the end of my bed and ever since i sat up i have been having trouble breathing. i am a 28 year old female and i was told by a ER doctor that i have COPD but im not on any meds for it right now. i dont smoke and im a little over weight but not to much.i was wondering if there is anything i can do at home to hep me breath better as im not on any health insurance right now.
[|AI|]  Well, COPD is a possibility but is a remote one, especially a rare variety called alpha 1 anti trypsin deficiency. But I am thinking of a more probable cause, something related to heart, as the symptoms you have been experiencing may be paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, but given your age, heart disease is still a possibility. You might also be having some breathing difficulty due to the excess weight and may be related to the Obesity. At the same time it is possible that you may have some depressive illness and sleep related problems or a panic attack. So, at Home, you can measure your Body mass Index, try to normalize it, by reducing your weight, minimize the stressors mental or physical and if the difficulty breathing continues, contact a physician nearby.
