How's your Hct? I know people say go by your platelet count, but if my Hct gets over 54% or so I just can't get air.
I don't know of it's related to the congestive heart failure or not, but when my Hct is around 48-50%, I feel like I can actually feel my lungs fill with air. When it's elevated, it fells like I'm drawing half breaths.
Just a thought. Maybe stop by a CVS minute clinic if y'all have them out there and let them check your O2 levels?
Also, how bad is the humidity out your way right now? It's been pretty high here in SC. At times it feels like you're trying to breathe with a wet towel over your face; like the world is trying to waterboard you.
Maybe throttle back on the cigs as well? Not judging,I had my own ashtray at 12 years old and didn't quit smoking until I was in my early 30s.
Edit: The lack of air becomes very obvious when tearing one off

There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...
