Sounds like you should make an appointment with your primary doctor on Monday. Worsening symptoms need attention.

@bbrodney- I'd also like to welcome you to the Lung Health Group. It's never a good thing when our breathing changes. There can be a multitude of reasons and none of them should be ignored. Heart problems can show up in this way. I suggest since you can't get a doctor's appointment for a while you should visit the ER to make sure that your heart doesn't need additional attention. Can you do this?
