I've had this sx. My Neuro called it "air hunger", too. If I'm laying down it has to be on my back. Sitting up I have to sometimes raise my arms over my head in order to get a good, deep breath. It seems to be worse at night but that might be because I'm trying to go to sleep and just notice it more.
