Yes if u had shortness of breath till so long we can go for further testing, to see the status of ur lungs.
Shortness of sleep which wakes up the patient had two causes one cardiac second is chr laryngitis due to GERD. FOR REACHING A DIAGNOSIS WE HAD TO RULE OUT THE OTHER POSSIBLE REASON BY GOOD HISTORY
