Weight Gain
Dealing with sleeping problems, pain and exhaustion caused by orthopnea may lead to weight gain in some individuals. Weight gain is more of a long-term symptom that develops over time, especially if a person experiences more severe effects of orthopnea.
Seeking advice from a doctor and maintaining healthy eating habits may help people avoid unwanted weight gain. Unless precluded by a medical condition, exercise should be incorporated into an individual's routine.
