[|Human|] Hi, my mother is unable to breathe properly. It has been happening for a few hours or so. She is trying to sleep but keeps waking up due to this problem.She says that her chest feels heavy and she is unable to breathe. She is breathing heavily. She is almost 50 years of age, has diabetes. Today her pressure was low.It was 108 and 68. She is sleeping now but is not breathing normally. I haven t tried anything yet. So please give me your advice.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of heart failure is more in her case. She is having breathing difficulty in night (in supine) position with heaviness in chest, these are classical symptoms of orthopnea. And orthopnea is seen in heart failure. She is also having diabetes and low blood pressure, so better to first get done ECG and 2d echo for the diagnosis of heart failure. She may need diuretics and cardiac isotropic Chat Doctor.  So better to first rule out heart diseases in her case. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
