Asthma/COPD will blow and still have breath were RLD blow and possibly be empty?Īs for the tests to date they are doing all the right things and looks like they could help you. Things like peak flow are not much good except to see what you are blowing. This could be your back problem as the muscles is spasm on lack of O2? Or it could just be the back playing up like they do? the reason I say this is a few years back I did PR and at a certain point of the walk tests my calves cramped up the PR nurse said that the body is taking the O2 from my legs as it is needed in my important organs. This is my theory on your back if you are low on O2 then the organs will pull as much as they can from where ever they can. I lose my breath very easily but recover quickly but still been deemed exercise intolerant? I am sorry to say tiredness is part of the package but you have to be positive about things as it will draw you down. To help things along I have Pulmonary hypertension and a few heart problems. I also have arthritis and 3 compression fractures in my back. I have RLD at 57% lung function upright and 12% drop when flat. This is a good link to explain COPD and RLD
