Morning
Hi could someone please tell me how to deal with the morning cough and breathless sometimes it's OK mostly but on occasion it's bad with wrecking being sick and shaking
I sleep with extra pillows nothing seams to help
Hi
. That must be painful and a bit frightening to feel that way in the morning. Have you talked with your doctor about it? There might be nighttime treatments that can help.
Your doctor might also be able to prescribe a hospital bed, the kind that elevates your head and feet. Pillows are helpful, but they shift and so do your legs if they aren't supported. Eventually, most people find themselves slipping off the pillows or teaking their necks in odd positions that make it hard to breathe. If you share a bed with your spouse and you don't want to sleep alone, you can get a split king adjustable frame for about $900 these days and use any two XL twin mattresses with them. An adjustable bed keeps your head and legs in place so you don't slip out of position during the night.
Here is a wonderful article about proper coughing that you might also find interesting: https://copd.net/clinical/coughing-for-better-breathing. I hope this helps and that you get some relief. Wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Member)
