I'm a 58 year old woman who was diagnosed with C.O.P.D three years ago

Lately I have a dream where I'm not able to breath out...and struggle to wake up...it's terrifying..and I now am afraid to sleep...is this to do with my lung condition? If so what can I do to stop this?

You could try checking out blf.org.uk - in addition to information on the site about copd they also have a helpline 03000 030 555.

You may benefit from counselling, talking through your dreams and fears with a trained therapist. You can access this through the NHS, and don't always need to go through your GP.

Scroll down to the nightmare section for a link to finding a local resource.
