What Causes Swelling In The Legs While Suffering From COPD?
I have just been told I have COPD. They could not find out why I smother so bad. I think it is not that. I had a heart attack in 2015 and they put a steint in my heart. That has been checked. Its ok. I only started smothering when l swell. When the swelling goes down I get better. My feet and legs are real bad now. My oxygen level stays 90 and above. Also. When I am bad and walk it feels like my legs are going to collapse on me. Are these symtoms of COPD?

Hello,
It is not related to COPD. If symptoms persist you can consult a general surgeon and plan for a vascular Doppler.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
