Paroxysmal Nocturnal Dyspnea (PND) is a medical condition characterized by sudden episodes of severe shortness of breath that occur during sleep, typically waking the affected individual from their sleep. Nocturnal Dyspnea, another term for PND, refers to difficulty breathing experienced specifically at night. These episodes can be distressing and may lead to feelings of panic and the need to sit upright or stand to alleviate the symptoms. PND is often associated with heart failure or other cardiac conditions, as it can be caused by fluid accumulation in the lungs during sleep. It is important for individuals experiencing PND or Nocturnal Dyspnea to seek medical attention to identify and address the underlying cause of their symptoms.
