Your thought on the possibility of this diagnosis and recovery.

I went and saw a pulmonologist about my lungs and pulmonary rehab exercises

I told you that he reviewed the PFTs and agreed with no visible signs of lung disease
What he did discuss is what I want your opinion on
He said that the lung is a muscle, and like most inactive muscles, the lungs can become out of shape when not exercised. When the body needs to wrk harder, the demand for air takes more energy and effort than if it was in shape. We discussed that my job is sitting all day and then little to no exercise. Over a short period of time a person who is in shape can lose the ability they once had. If I have been lazy or idle for too many years my lungs need exercise to get back what they lost.

What do you think of his view of the entire possibility not just that I can get out of shape by not exercising. That part I know.

He said to go slow and it would take time. Today I went to a big state fair. I was physically worn out after walking around for two hours. It was hard to breath with chest tight. I wonder if I need to combined your rest with his exercise to get lungs working again and to get inflammation down

You should definitely start exercise slowly.

I went on a one mile walk this morning. Had some breathing being labored as I walked. Please tell me that it's normal as I get back into it.
I got home and was just worn out. So I took a nap. Hope that's normal. As I am getting back into exercise.
Have a lot to f anxiety as I try to start new with walking but feel discomfort as I do. I hope that is normal for starting over.

I keep saying that I have 3 pulminologists saying the same thing and my gp telling me that no progressive lung disease is visible so I hope that feeling discomfort is normal on way to feeling good again

Went on a short series of walks, one just this morning Notice my intake of air is limited to short breaths. Not sure of reason for short amount of air. It does cause some anxiety. Hope it's something that will go away with more exercise or I wonder if the ribs have started the aging stiffening process

Well I know the difference but I'm not certain.

If I try to take deep breath the lungs fill pushing down to bottom of rib cage but the bottom of rib cage seems to be barrier. As if the lungs press against ribs and stop and I feel it unilaterally along bottom of ribs. So maybe it's uni

I am constantly feeling as if I want to stay in bed. Not sure if it is tired though. I think it is anxiety of knowing that breathing is going to be an issue until exercise eases it up.

I will say that I went out and mowed the yard yesterday, warm and humid. I was breathing uncomfortable. When done, I went in and sat down for a little bit. after the rest, I felt pretty good for rest of day/evening. So I will try to repeat this tonight and see if it repeats.
