@lizjlb my back is always hurting, it’s impossible for me to stand and cook sometimes. Been to chiropractors but didn’t seem to help much but maybe I didn’t go enough. I have 5 budging disc.
It’s hard to describe how breathing was different. It was like I had a block in my lungs that stopped my breath short of where it used to be. Also I used to be able to let’s say vacuum one day and it would be hard but if I did it every day it would get easier now it seems it’s the same hard each time. I’m not sure if my SOB is due to the lungs or PH . Dr says both. I need to exercise more I know I just get tired of trying I think. I do use my lung exerciser every day. It’s a ball like thing where you get resistance blowing in and out. You move up levels as you progress. That has helped a lot.

@tcarson52 thanks. did they tell you not to do strenuous exercises? read where you should only do reg walking, stationary bike, etc. with PH.
how long did you say you have had PH? I haven’t officially been told I have it but said my pulmonary pressures were borderline increased on Echo.
So am doing some investigating.
Also what inhalers are you on for your copd. Web says never hold your breath with PH but my inhalers say hold for 10 seconds before breathing??
What is that ball thing called. I might have it, does it come with 2 different sizes and the ball flutters when you blow into it?
thanks again.
