I have not, but I have had plenty of arrhythmias all my life and there is a correlation between the arrhythmia and the need for oxygen. If you have COPD or some other lung issue, it can really put a demand on your body. Use the oxygen if you need it. I don't know if this helped, but there you go. 🤗

Sounds like your doing everything right. I am better on the SOB after once a day puff of Trelegy. It is pricey but worth it. I finally went to Pulmonologist as Heart & Lungs closely related. She told me my Albuterol was only a rescue med, not everyday use which surprised me. Put me on the daily of Trelegy.

A MyHeart...

I continue to have SOB at rest and when I exercise. This has been ongoing since July 2016. I have met with all the specialists and had so many procedures and tests done that it's sad there isn't an answer to the cause. I was diagnosed with AFIB November 2019 when my heart did Rapid Ventricular Response (RVR) while exercising and continued when I stopped exercising. While at the ER I was told what was wrong. But the three years prior and all the tests not once did Cardiology with EKG's, stress test, heart catheritizations, show anything wrong with the heart, nor did Pulmonologist find anything contributing to this, nor did any of the doctors I saw for the 3 1/2 years prior to the event RVR and how they listen to your heart ever see or hear any irregularity's. This year I have had 3 cases of physical therapy for the ongoing OA in various areas of my aging body. The latest is my jaw arthritis and it's not fun hearing snap, crackle, pop when I chew anything that provides resistance. Early in the year my Neurologist ordered an MRI of my neck and explained the outcome. I chose Physical Therapy, because two remedies were contradicted by Eliquis and latter is surgery, not certain how that will play out for stenosis. Anyhow, was diagnosed with cervical issues when I retired from the military. Amazing how your body wears out over 35 years from diagnosis. I have an appointment with a neurosurgeon later this month. But, still have SOB for 10 years now and my stenosis affects C3-C4 and that affects the Phrenic Nerve that controls the Diaphragm activation. In other words it maybe the cervical spine that has been deteriorating over the past 35 years since retiring from the military that maybe contributing to my issues but maybe the neurosurgeon can shed some light on this for me as there are tests that can be done noninvasive. It's worth a try. Trying really hard to keep a good thought.
