Doctors say that people should pay attention to their night's sleep. If there are regular awakenings, it is necessary to check the heart.

According to Dr. Bobby Bogaev, patients with heart failure often wake up at night. Waking up is accompanied by a number of additional symptoms, including dyspnea, known in medical circles as PND – paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea.

The expert explains that due to irregular breathing, a person wakes up in the middle of the night due to coughing or wheezing, while an accelerated pulse is observed . He feels as if he is suffocating, and moving to a sitting position will help relieve the condition. After a few minutes, shortness of breath disappears, but the problem should be solved with a qualified doctor.

Doctors say that all this is the earliest sign of heart failure. The situation will worsen if you do not consult a specialist in time and do not solve the problem with effective treatment.
