Some of your symptoms remind me of when I had the pleural effusion (fluid building up in the space between the lung sack and the chest wall). Pain on lying down, unable to take a breath... have you been checked for this? I think an x-ray is all it takes to rule this out.

Perhaps the pherenic nerve is what is being irritated when I have breathing difficulties? Like someone sitting on my chest, dizzy, weak... it very scary!

I hope things will resolve for you soon Linda - but do have the lungs double-checked, OK hun?
