Q: shortness of breath when walking. lung ct looks good. i feel better when sitting down but any walking makes it very hard to breathe. my heart rate rises to 147 also when walking?

: My questions for you 1. Do/did you smoke cigarettes regularly . If yes stop now and ask for pulmonary function to diagnose COPD. 2. Do you get up at night Do both legs swell during day and go down at night, do you get up more than once no? Ask about CHF.
