@narelled23 Actually you should be going to a pulmonologist and sleep medicine practice. What you are describing sounds very much like sleep apnea. They will be more appropriate than ENT, who will probably refer you to a pulmonologist anyway. Being breathless is a very scary feeling. Do you sleep with the head of the bed slightly elevated. Not a cure but may help more than laying flat. Best of luck finding a solution.

I have had sleep studies done: severe Sleep apnoea but I have been trying to avoid Cpap machines because you can't sterilise them. Last few nights back using splint I have managed to sleep so fingers crossed. 🙏
