When one has orthopnea, one has a shortness of breath whenever one lays on a flat surface. Orthopnea causes dyspnea and Paroxysmal Nocturnal Dyspnea.
The ability to breathe comfortably only when in an upright position is known as orthopnea. This condition often occurs in individuals with heart failure or respiratory disorders, where lying flat can exacerbate breathing difficulties due to fluid accumulation in the lungs or other factors. Patients with orthopnea typically find relief by propping themselves up with pillows or sitting in a chair. It is an important symptom to discuss with a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and management.
