(Think of a person who has asthma or breathlessness and he’s having acute attack, he’s anxious that he is going to die, he lies down and does not want to move (this position is what will make you think of SPONGIA and not ARS, which would otherwise be your remedy, also ARS has midnight agg, while SPONG has agg before midnight), warm drinks ameliorate him. It can also be compared with LACHESIS, with its aggravation after sleep, inability to tolerate tight clothing and getting up suffocating from sleep)
