Waking up middle of the night

Hya, does this happen to anyone else? I wake up in the middle of the night feeling I'm not getting enough air in my lungs, I'm already on 3ltrs oxygen. I have to sit up and do purse lip breathing for a while until my breathing settles, only then can I try to go back to sleep. Thanks in advance x

Do you have a long acting bronchodilator? If not, maybe ask your doctor or nurse about this. Taken last thing at night, it might help to keep you comfortable.
