Sitting in my bed!

I have rotatory scoliosis, and my chest is deformed, my chest is higher on my left side of my sternum. I have a neuroma on my right hand side of my lower spine, this was partially removed 20 years ago when my scoliosis started, and due an epileptic seizure it has started again, twisting, I think it has got to the point because the right hand side of the chest is reducing it affects capability of the lungs making my breathing laboured, lack I am of breath means severe lack of breathing which in turn lack of sleeping. It has got to the point I am getting about four hours sleep, purely knackered!! I am getting surgery soon to remove the neuroma, but that will not help the general capacity of my lungs, any suggestions, some sort of girdle or brace perhaps, I am 61 years old, and registered disabled but I need sleep relief NOW!!
