Hi I have moderate COPD and am on O2 24/7 but also have a portable so I can get lots of exercise. I am also on prednisone when I get a flare up which causes edema. Are you taking any steroid medications. A side effect can be fluid retention. Lots of things to learn about with COPD. Learning curve keeps increasing. The more I know, the better I can manage it without having to go to the hospital! Hope this helps!

Thanks Grayner for the tip abt edema & Pred. I’m not on pred but I use Breztri for several years.
I was at my pulmonologist and she has me raising my legs and walking more. So far no change.
