Waking at night short of breath can signal heart failure, doctors warn
Doctors warn that suddenly waking at night unable to breathe — with relief coming only from sitting up or propping oneself up on several pillows — can be a symptom of heart problems rather than stress or a stuffy room. These episodes, known as orthopnoea or paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnoea, may be an early sign of heart failure. Anyone experiencing such symptoms is advised to consult a doctor.
