Fatigue

Feeling tired all the time is what COPD patients call normalcy. Because their bodies have to work harder to breathe, people with COPD are exhausted every single day. A study published in the journal Chest found that people with COPD who complained of feeling fatigued tended to have impaired lung function.

If you’re constantly tired, and you don’t really know why as you’re not a sports enthusiast, maybe it’s about time to talk to your doctor; you may need to talk to a pulmonologist too. And even if you just got back from your check-up and everything seems fine with your lungs, chronic fatigue is not normal! Identify the root cause in order to treat it accordingly.
