Shortness of breath, coughing and chest pain that is accompanied by a sense of choking or a feeling of tightness are all symptoms of some form of lung disease.
Many forms of sleep disorders, especially problems falling asleep and sleeping through the night result in daytime tiredness and reduced performance. A large number of sleeping disorders, especially the difficulty to fall asleep or the inability to sleep throughout the whole of the night always result in fatigue and reduced efficiency during the day. It is normal for anyone to feel tired from time to time and to feel tired after a night of ineffective sleep. However, when this becomes a habit, it may be wise to investigate what could be at the root of the sleeping disorder, sleep apnea, insomnia or the syndrome of restless legs. Excessive sluggishness or an excessive need of sleep can also be a sign of a sleeping disorder.
