Breathing at bedtime

You might try elevating the head of your bed. I have been using a mattress wedge designed to go between the mattress and box springs for years. But there are other ways as well. I get that same feeling of not being able to get a deep breath whenever I am forced to sleep on a flat mattress. Bill

@poodledoc Good point. For years I've used a sleeping wedge and recently we raised the bed with graduated blocks. Now I sleep on a wedge and also a raised bed. A hack instead of an adjustable bed. The angle is somewhere between 28-30 degrees with wedge and raised bed, which I've read is minimum for reflux/gerd.
