What Causes Breathlessness And Heaviness In The Limbs?
I am a 55 year old women with COPD among other things. Heart Valve replacement, thyroids, Diabetes, and fibro. I take many medications to control all. However lately I have been feeling breathless, body and limbs feel oddly heavy. And no energy. I have reviewed my conditions and obviously its a lung thing. I see where there is a drug called Incruse and is that the only medication on the market for COPD . Any way my question is this. Does it sound like lung with the no energy , hard to breath and so on?

You should have your heart re-evaluated as this is a common cause of breathlessness and limb heaviness. If nothing concerning is found in the heart, you can proceed to having a chest x-ray done to screen for lung problems that may explain this.
