I go to bed around 10pm and all is well. Then, I wake up around 3am almost unable to breath. I then get up at 3am, and am breathing better by 7am. It's been the same for almost a year.

@juanito - I have sleep apnea and use a CPAP at night. Sleep apnea can be one of the causes for the symptoms you are describing. Here is some information that you may find helpful.

Have you ever been tested for sleep apnea? Usually the test is an overnight stay at the hospital for the sleep study and you are hooked up to a bunch of sensors and wear a CPAP mask.
