 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

editParoxysmal nocturnal dyspnea or paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnoea (PND) is an attack of severe shortness of breath and coughing that generally occurs at night.[1] It usually awakens the person from sleep, and may be quite frightening.[2] PND, as well as simple orthopnea, may be relieved by sitting upright at the side of the bed with legs dangling.[3]

editTreatment for paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea depends on the underlying cause. If the underlying cause for the PND is heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), treatments can include diuretics, beta blockers, and ACE inhibitors.[4] Another underlying cause of PND is Central sleep apnea (CSA) with Cheyne-Stokes Breathing (CSB), which is recommended to be treated by continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and nocturnal home oxygen therapy (HOT) by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.[5]
The shortness of breath sensation felt from PND can typically be relieved by maintaining an upright position while sleeping.[6]
