Breathlessness, Night 2

It’s 11:00 pm and I have try and sleep now, with dialysis in about six hours. I think this problem definitely has something to do with the heart surgery since the keloid on the scar is starting to hurt. I don’t think I’ve experienced this in the nine months since surgery. The chest pressure symptom has always been there in one manner or another, but it’s a lot more pronounced. Over the course of the day today, I tried take a nap several times. Either the shortness of breath gets worse until I have to sit up to breath, or I fall asleep somehow for a hour before waking, still as tired as ever. The cardiologist didn’t call me back yet but usually it takes them two days to reply. I hope I can get some sleep tonight so I don’t have to sleep on the dialysis chair for four hours.
