How to cure or treat Paroxysmal Nocturnal Dyspnea (PND)?

The treatment of PND, shortness of breath or labored breathing occurring when lying down sleeping, depends on its underlying cause. The cause of the PND (of which there are many possibilities) needs to be treated in order to control the PND. If you have not had a sleep study done or have not seen a physician to find the cause, you need to do so. Once the cause is determined, measures can be taken to help the PND.  (+ info)

Has anyone ever heard of BPPV(Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo)?

---

Does anyone know how long it last?
Any treatment for it?
Thanks.
I have had this for 10 years. It comes & goes in uneven spurts, sometimes every 6 months, sometimes a year between episodes, usually lasting for several days each time. There is a series of positions that a doctor can manuever you through that helps some people, although whether my doctor did them wrong or they just didn't work for me, I'm not sure. There are a few things I've found on the internet about "sure-fire" cures, but I'm hesitant to believe many of them, especially since they're expensive and only a few doctors know about them--why would that be, if the "cure" is so effective? I just carry non-drowsy motion sickness medicine for the nausea creating by the spinning sensation and put up with the funky vision for the days that it bothers me. I've also found that drinking LOTS of water (only water) to stay hydrated during those times helps a bunch, too. Keeping your eyes open when the spinning overcomes you helps with the nausea, too.

Good luck, and please post if you find better answers.  (+ info)

Which upper respiratory bacterial infection is characterized by a paroxysmal cough?

diphtheria
influenza
or pertussis
Pertussis, also known as the Whooping Cough, often begins with symptoms similar to the common cold, however after 1-2 weeks, patients often develop "fits" of coughing (paroxysms). After these rapid paroxysms of coughing, patients often make a "whooping" sound as they breathe in, hence the name.  (+ info)
