I Am Tired All The Time, Cough Frequently And Have

I will recommend you get an echocardiogram
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.
1. When did this cough start? did this start after initiating Hyzaar? How soon after if this was the case? Hyzaar is known to cause such symptoms.
2. However, given your shortness of breath with exercise, heart failure is a genuine concern. With no edema, this is a bit not typical. BNP levels and chest imaging would help.
Your oxygen level of 91 is low and shows severe lung disease. I am also concerned this might lead to increased pressure in the lungs. My plan would be to get an echocardiogram with doppler and optimize your asthma treatment. You would also benefit from 6 minutes walk test with oxygen measurements to see how well you can tolerate exercise.
I hope this helps and guides. I wish you well. Keep me updated with the ongoing process and results.


Sincerely, Sheila Shaubach
