Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the COPD: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Support Group.

I'm just beginning to notice breathing challenges with little exertion. I'm supposed to have my valves checked in December.

@oobc50 That sounds worrying especially if it is getting worse with light effort. Since both of us are feeling something similar, maybe it is worth getting checked sooner rather than waiting. Breathing changes can come from a bunch of things not just lungs or valves, so better to rule out anything serious. Hope everything goes well with your appointment — keep us updated.

Check with your doctor. Could be a number of things but it's best to find out. There are a variety of medications that could help!

@zenren14 Are you using an inhaled med that includes a steroid? My vocal cords tightened up and voice became squeaky while using an inhaled steroid, cleared up when I quit it. Just a possibility...

Breathing test results borderline copd.
I used a steroid for bronchial pneumonia.
After steroid less stridor breathing.
Stridor breathing affected into my late adult years.
