Question:

I am embarrassed to ask this question, but I need to get some feedback on it as it is concerning and I don't know what it means exactly. Part of this exacerbation has been losing control of my bladder when I get breathless. I have only lost total control once - after climbing the stairs up to my apartment after being at the urgent care for the 3rd time and I just couldn't hold it anymore. I am experiencing mild leaking when I cough, when I am SOB, so I am forming the habit of just going to the restroom every hour, regardless of whether I feel the need to or not. This has helped a lot. But, it has not totally eradicated the problem. Does anyone else experience this? What does it mean?
