@leelou03 With all of your lung issues, has anyone suggested pulmonary rehab for you?
Pulmonary rehab can teach you to maximize the effectiveness of your breathing even though your lungs are challenged, give you exercises to strengthen them and your chest and diaphragm muscles, and breathing strategies for when you are short of breath.
Have you a complete medication evaluation to make sure some of the meds you take are not interfering with the effectiveness of others? The Clinical Pharmacist was the one who figured out that the medication used to control my heart rate was lessening the effectiveness of my asthma meds. He taught me how to determine whether a new prescription might do the same.
These are just two ways you might be able to improve your quality of llife while dealing with chronic conditions.
