Great - something ELSE to do with hunger. . . .

It's better this morning - or not as noticeable. I think I notice it more at night when I'm trying to go to sleep because I have no other distractions.

I have to make a follow-up appointment with the Neuro so I will discuss it with him when I go.

Thanks everyone for your responses!

Try testing to see if laying in another position might help, like switching from your back to your side (or vice-versa). I get positional vertigo and can only lay in one position without getting woozy . . . which causes distress . . . then difficulty breathing too.

I've noticed it's worse when I lay on my side. I have gotten to where I use two pillows and elevate my head a little and that seems to make it better. I generally sleep on my back or my side - an abundance of chest related physical anatomy makes it impossible to sleep on my stomach !!

Well this is odd, my 1st trip to the ER when this all starting the end of Dec. was something just like this, I had shortness of breath had an odd tight feel of my chest and extreme fatigue. This wasn't anything like a panic attack. ER didn't see anything wrong with my heart or lungs and send me home the next day my legs when numb (still partly numb 11 weeks later).

Interferons can cause shortness of breath. In rare cases interferons can result in Sarcoidosis which is the body attacking organs, usually lungs, skin and heart. That be me.

There are LOTS of reasons for shortness of breath...

HOWEVER, if it can be SERIOUS....

Go see the doctor....your PCP....he/she will be able to put a finger on the problem....

Hope it is nonserious....

This problem once sent me to the ER too! I was driving my kids to Kid's Day Out and got so short of breath I started to have tunnel vision. I went to the nurse's office at the big church where my kids went to KDO, and she had to call my husband. When I got to the ER, they couldn't find anything wrong with my lungs, heart, or oxygen saturation, so they decided it was an anxiety attack. Patted me on the head and sent me home with tranqs. I looked at my husband and said, "Did I seem anxious to you?" He said no, I seemed very calm. I've been afraid to mention it to docs ever since for fear of getting the same reaction.

He had MS for 30 years. Although he usually sounded as if he's taking bigger breaths and just simply releasing air. He also had a mild heart atta in his 50s and another in his early 60s that created a horrible slow end to his life. Please be self aware and safe you guys! Much love for the ms community

Welcome, Mkiley23!

It sounds as if you have lost your father. I'm so sorry for your loss and sorry that he had so much suffering.

MS hits some people much harder than others but even when it's looking mild, it can turn into a much more serious problem.

It just started with me since the summer months come in. In fact I had a very bad episode yesterday where I passed out and hit the ground for about 30 seconds twice never had this experience before.
