That is, when ever you lie down, you wil have difficulty in breathing. This is because when you are in supine posture, the force of gravity is greatly reduced and all d blood that was in your limbs will come to the heart. This causes volume overload which leads to dyspnoea. Hey, the difficulties you will be having in CHF are Orthopnoea. That is, when ever you lie down, you wil have difficulty in breathing.

Watch your fluid intake. I prefer to focus on what you can do yourself to control your symptoms:

From a nurse's view and the scant information provided, I would initially think you had CHF. You should contact your cardiologist and see him, if you have questions. Right off I would suggest a minimum of: 1. Take your medications religiously. 2. Limiting your fluid intake to around 1000- 2000ml a day. 3. Weighing yourself every morning (same time with same clothes). If you find a 3-5lb increase you should call your doctor before it gets worse. (This is fluid weight that is going to effect your lungs.) 4. Educate yourself!!!!! Your doctor should have given you education prior to discharge from the hospital.
