Pangboche Monastery. I was having issues with periodic breathing while at Dingboche and Chukhung. I was OK during the daytime, felt strong trekking, but unable to sleep at night, constant waking, struggling for breath as soon as I dropped off. Very unpleasant, so decended to Pangboche. My original plan was to cross Cho La to Gokyo but changed my plan and spent 2 nights at lower altitude, checked in with a Doctor in Pangboche to make sure all was OK (I'm 63), blood oxygen was good. Then trekked toward Gokyo via Phortse, Dole and Machermo.
