I keep sleeping sitting up?!


Question: I keep sleeping sitting up?
I been suffering from asthma, and bronchospasms for the longest, and been on more, and more medications to help me breathe easier, and even on steroids to open my throat up as an emergency. Lately i been scaring the crap out of my wife cause when i lay down to go to sleep a few hours later she said ill be sitting up in the middle of the bed sleeping, and she has to lay me back down. I tried to see what causes sleeping while sitting up, but only read others stories. I am pretty sure it's from my breathing problems, but i wanted to know more. Is it dangerous? is it another disease or something? I am in Florida right now so im not seeing my doctor until i get home.

Answers:

I think the sleeping while sitting up has to do with your breathing problems. While you are sleeping you feel congested and are struggling so you sit up to breathe better and you just go back to sleep. Try putting extra pillows under your head before you go to sleep so that your head and shoulders are elevated, and that might fix the problem. There is also the possibility of some sleep disorder.
