Treatment for<unk>  depends on the underlying cause. If the underlying cause is heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF, when part of the heart does not fill properly with blood), treatments can include diuretics, beta blockers, and ACE inhibitors. Another potential underlying cause of<unk>  is central sleep apnea (CSA) with Cheyne-Stokes Breathing (CSB), for which the treatment recommended by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and<unk>  home oxygen therapy (HOT). The shortness of breath sensation felt from<unk>  can typically be relieved by maintaining an upright position while sleeping. + Potential Underlying Cause Treatment central sleep apnea with Cheyne-Strokes breathing continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) diuretics, beta blockers, ACE inhibitors
