Yes. I’ve gained 30 lbs. I’m thinking about going to my dr to see if I’m retaining fluid. I’m also on 2 new inhalers. And I also like my junk food.

Im in the same boat but not overweight , reason being exercise, this condition needs the exercise, cut back on food give it a go hugs

Trisha, strange that you mention thyroid. My cardiologist recommended that my internist order thyroid and CBC.I'm always tired. Sleep like a baby anywhere/anytime. Seems like on 900 calories a day, you'd be skin and bones. I also take 2 lasix a day. Helps a little. Have a great day. Thanks for answering. Breathe easy.

I've gained almost 100 pounds in the last five years. I can't exercise anymore, I can barely walk due to SOB. I have hypothyroidism along with the COPD. I find it horrifying and there is nothing I can do about it. I maintain a 900 calorie a day diet.

I stopped taking the meds that had steroids in them because I cried all the time. Felt terrible. Just trying to lose some weight. Don't know why I worry about the weight. I'm 72 years old and not out to impress anyone. I just want to feel better. Have a blessed week. Good luck with the exercise, too.
