Best site ever and love you all.
Today - what a day.
Carried my son up the stairs - gassed me for about a minute. When up and down stairs the rest of the day did not feel a thing.
Ran to the gym - was breathing great and the fourth block the heavy aerobic breathing kicked in. Gym is about 6 blocks back n forth.
At baseball diamond afternoon caught ball as catcher - first time lower to catch ball - gassed for a short time next 20 pitches nothing.
Ran with son to meet mom at restaurant and beginning lung felt weighted after a block or so went into rhythm
My point is this is so I don’t get it. My mind is playing tricks on me. It almost like I’m borderline and am paying attention to everything. I do see a counselor for mental health next week. I really don’t know if I have COPD but ONE thing I know for sure is if I make a sudden movement that’s when I get gassed.
I may be in the beginning of all this and just hyper focused.
I saw a women (late 50’s) Guess @gym with a tank and I kept my distance but gave her a HUGE thumbs up.
I’m 43 and have lost my PF1 with this COPD and I’m struggling everyday to figure out of I really have it. My peak flow and FEV are all around that 79%-80% as you see in my old posts.
I just know for sure when I begin the run, kneel down, hard to explain I feel something is off.
I was told by someone on this site from University of Kentucky that “the lack of reversibility can change from visit to visit.”
This is not what’s going to take me out what will is the stress of what this all is and being hyper focused on every move I make.
I’m just venting and my apologies- I’m just trying to control this and will get the help I need
