feel a pressure like my lungs are being dragged down
I wouldn't think so....I've been on the same BP meds for 18 years. And with them my BP is always good. This just started happening a month ago.Is there a possibility that your BP med is causing your supine BP to drop too much?
That's something I thought might be possible. ThanksChest tightness and constricted breathing is a symptom of this condition. That could be what you are feeling when you say it feels like yours lungs are being dragged down.
When you lay down and de-stimulate, you simply become more internally aware of symptoms, even though it may seem like symptoms are worsening.
This just started happening a month ago.
Some form of adrenaline surge, perhaps? Makes us initially feel even worse when we rest after having overexerted ourselves.

I did start a small dose of provigil a few weeks before the symptom. I'll mention it to my doc. thanksDid anything change a month ago? Such as starting or stopping a supplement or meds? Or changing to a different brand of supplement or med (different brands, different fillers which sometimes cause problems). Did you start or stop eating certain foods? Maybe you started using different cleaning products...
Try to think of anything that may have changed in your life around the time the symptoms started. You might find something unexpected is the cause.
