Suggest Treatment For COPD And Emphysema
I have COPD and emphasema. Lately I ve had very fatigued legs from morning and all day long making it difficult to exercise or to walk to lose extra weight that I have gained in the last few years. Does this fatigue have to do with my condition? or is it something else? I have yearly blood work and checkups with my dr.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
Since you are having COPD ,your present symptoms of leg pain and fatigue can be due to COPD.
Long standing COPD can have complications like
1. Generalised muscle weakness
2. Osteoporosis
So both of these can contribute to your present symptoms.
Obesity can be the other cause for this.
So better control of COPD with calcium and vitamin supplement is needed. And loose some weight too.
