Breathing difficulties?

Hi,

I've struggled with Adrenal issues for many years (with many complicating factors such as liver problems) and I've experienced many "crashes" from which I've slowly worked my way back.

A few days ago, I had a HUGE crash and have been pretty much bedridden since then.

My question is..... when I'm really weak (like now) I've always noticed problems breathing.... like there is a weight on my chest and it's hard to breathe. This goes away as I get stronger. THIS time however, the breathing trouble is so bad that it makes it really hard to sleep. I'll sleep a little while and then my body will wake me up panicking and gasping for breath. As you can imagine, it's pretty hard to regain my strength when I can't sleep decently.

Has anyone experienced this and/or have any ideas for how to help my breathing?

Thanks so much.
