Hi Shayna,
There is no worse or terrifying feeling than trouble breathing. It's scary as hell.
Have you tried using a vaporizer in your bedroom at night? When I had that problem, it seemed to help me breathe a little better. Also would carry it around the house with me and set it close by wherever I landed. It might be worth a try.
I'm keeping you in my prayers for a speedy recovery. When one of us is down with whatever, we as a family need to circle the wagons.
Feel better very soon my friend. We're all there with you in spirit.
