You’re tired all the time
Another warning symptom of COPD can be exhaustion or fatigue, says pulmonologist Fernando Martinez, MD, chief of the pulmonary and critical care division at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City. Fatigue gets along with breathlessness so much that people may not be able to say whether they are breathless or fatigued.
If your fatigue is keeping you from doing your regular activities, it could be a COPD symptom, and you should visit your doctor, says Dr. Martinez.
