I seem to swell out and out my chest feels tight and I get so get tired and go to sleep. I have just woke up and I feel so unwell. it’s now getting much worse as time goes on and I am struggling getting up stairs and am constantly tired out. I have gone to the breathing physio clinic Last year I can’t hold my breather for more than 9 seconds I have tried to do breathing exercises. My heart’s bearing so fast and I feel quite warm. My father and his uncle had issues with asthma bronchitis and other breathing issues. Drs are baffled and the clinic where I no longer attend did suggest something other than asthma could be going on but I wasn’t offered further testing. I am being sent for a chest x Ray and am being given by my dr prednisone steroids as that works well for me. I am now needing to know could I have possibly have COPD and how do I get tested as I am really struggling thank you for any advice have a nice day cheers. Elena
