I'm not sure if being tired all the time is part of my COPD. I just don't have the energy like I used to. Yes, I get short of breath walking up stairs and if I carry items, it's worse.
I also have a B12 deficiency so I do monthly injections for my Chrons and have a thyroid problem.
Too many problems to figure out which one is the problem.
Any suggestions?
Yes I am always tired and sometimes weak. I've learned to slow down and accommodate my life to a less hurried one with rest as needed.
I guess that's where the pursed lip breathing helps us expel the bad air!
It's not carbon monoxide. It's carbon dioxide. Most people with COPD are carbon dioxide retainers.
Don't forget your lungs aren't getting the oxygen therefore neither is your brain
