I will see a doctor (internist) tomorrow. I have moderate COPD (68 on breath test) and several other concerns that may not be related. I am 66, 6 2 , and about 200lbs. I become extremely short of breath and fatigue when I bend over to do things like tie my shoes or bend repetitive times to make a bed. The last time I discussed the condition with this doctor, they found the COPD. The lung doctor does not think there is anything else wrong that is causing the shortness of breath. The only other related problem is some swelling of my feet. I have a minor kidney problems (Phase III). I have been previously check for heart problems (12 months ago) and cleared as not found (with a right cath.). I have suffered with the shortness of breath every since having a non cancerous tumor removed from my pituitary gland. I am not seeking an ultimate answer in this note. I just want some test suggestions to recommend to my doctor.
