I've been having trouble breathing for years now, more than a decade. I just went for a swim today. I'm trying to manage my weight. I'm 46 now. I guess there are a lot of body changes. Sometimes I don't understand why other older people are thin, but I guess it's a personal thing. I was having trouble breathing and feeling motion sickness in the pool. I did feel some pain go away after an hour at least. When I got out my body was so heavy I nearly buckled. I recently lost 30 pounds. Actually, it's taken me a couple years. I think I've lost more. My pug passed away 5 years ago and I gained a bunch of weight. I kinda gave up on myself. I loved my pug so much.
I don't know if others have this experience.
I also take lamictal and Seroquel, propranolol and hydroxyzine. Sometimes I wonder if the lamictal is causing this. I know it affects the thyroid. Maybe that's why I can't breathe well.

Best to get the breathing sorted. GP can check.If it is worst after swimming maybe chlorine doesn't help. Do you have outdoor swimming groups near you.
What a nice reply! I just really wonder if the muscles start to atrophy, even if we are exercising everyday. My sister has MS. I guess you go numb. Fibromyalgia is like you feel everything.
Hi there, differently agree try see your doctor, wel done for the weight loss, but perhaps having a good health check will put your mind at ease.Also ask if your meds affect weight at all(appreciate your health system is not always helpful🙁do you pay each time you see a doctor ? )Sorry too read about your little pug , we know how it feels ☹️very sad, would you consider another little dog ?take care of yourself xx
That dog passing nearly broke me. I was talking out loud to him everyday. I'm sure people looked at.me strangely.
I was thinking meds, too. That's a psych question. Ya, in the US we get Medicaid, but at 65 we have to go on Medicare. Then we are charged a copay and a percentage of insurance. I have said it before, but I really think our govt wants to get the money from the elderly before they pass. Crooks.
Hi Tjoceans, I've put on a stone in weight after losing my beloved little dog, Sandy, in February. I still can't believe she's gone and I feel so sad for a lot of the time xx
Yes, everyday I think of him. Sucks that I don't feel like I can talk about with everyone, but I don't want to depress everyone. It's a secret thing. He used to tell me when to go to bed. Bark at me and lead me to bed. I would have to tell people I need to go to bed, because he's gonna wake me at 8am. Now I don't have him telling me to stay on a schedule. 🤷😊
So many precious memories. Such profound loss Tjoceans. Pm me of and when you want to talk about your little one. I understand not everyone gets it xx 😘💔
