Yes i can relate to what your going through it's an awful feeling i used to feel like that when i was going to bed at night too. Does it sort of hit you out of the blue. And yes j have symptoms that mimic diseases too scares the crap out of me. Have you been checked out by a doctor to put your mind at ease or have you been given any meds to help. Anxiety is overwellming focusing on the symptoms makes them worse. Try to do some breathing exercises i do the 4 7 8 one breath in for a count of 4 hold for 7 and exhale for 8 works for me.

When we sleep at night we are lying down and a bit of fluid automatically collects in our lungs, so on waking it redistributes itself so a bit of breathless is normal. Are you in the USA?

This is first time this has ever happened? Go to bed a little congested, eat before bed, anything?

Health anxiety is tough to manage on your own, I’d consider looking into getting treatment for it, it’s exhausting worrying all the time you have some illness or something failing you.
