Tiredness is part and parcel of COPD, That said , the more exercise you do , the more you open up the lungs and the easier it gets , it s getting to that stage that s the problem , sometimes you can just bust through it and get there , other times you can t . Slightly out of breath is good , gasping for air is nt , so try and find your own levels , only you know what you can and cannot do on any given day.

Here's the vicious cycle....your rush to get something done so you won'tt ose your breath, then you lose your breath because you moved too fast....lol

You described me to a T. My dr. is going to do a thyroid test to see if perhaps my thyroid is not working right. COPD can cause low energy but, not to the degree you and I are having. I am 70 yrs. old and until last December I had lots of energy. I would go shopping for hours with my daughter and granddaughter. Now I don't last 2 hours and I need to go home and when I get home I have to lay down and rest for an hour or more. I have almost quit going shopping because, of it. I don't need to go shopping but, I miss the time with my kids. We enjoyed going out to eat and shopping together. We never spent a lot of money mostly just looked around but, it was fun. Now I don't go hardly anywhere, I just get to tired to easy. One other thing my dr. is looking into is low red blood cells. This can cause low energy also.
